New Street Signage Will Encourage Slower Driving On Edgewood Road

YARDLEY, PA — The Lower Makefield Township Police Department said that new street markings will be placed on Edgewood Road between Oxford Valley Road and Whitehall Drive starting Friday.

The new markings are intended to promote extra safety around the roundabouts, and will be accompanied by markings on the road encouraging travel at the posted speed limits.

Police said modifications include painting "yield" on all six entrance points to the roundabouts, painting "slow" on Edgewood Road, and painting new center double yellow lines from Schuyler Road westbound to around Whitehall Drive.

"We will continue to monitor traffic conditions on Edgewood Road and make improvements as necessary," police wrote. "We have additional signage that will be added in the next couple weeks along with lighting updates to upgrade nighttime visibility along the roundabouts and will be posting details regarding these upgrades in the near future."

Residents are also warned to anticipate slight delays in travel in the area on Friday.
