Montgomery Township in Pennsylvania has introduced an unconventional traffic calming measure by painting curved lines on Grays Lane, aiming to reduce reckless driving complaints from residents. However, many locals are baffled by this decision, suggesting more traditional methods, like speed bumps, would be more effective. Some residents have taken to disregarding the new layout, fearing it may lead to police misunderstandings regarding their driving behavior. While there is skepticism regarding the plan, some support it, emphasizing the dangers posed by traffic in a school zone.
"These traffic calming measures are being installed due to the numerous complaints/concerns we receive from residents about the 'speedway' Grays Lane has become," officials wrote in a statement on Facebook.
"This is not the design to go. There are other options out there, and I think they should have gone that way," resident Mike DiLorenzo told NBC News Philadelphia.
"If you were to drive like that down the street the police would think you were drinking and driving and pull you over," another joked.
"With all the school stops and people walking and animals crossing, it's always very dangerous," Joe Albanese of Montgomeryville told 6ABC Action News.
