  1. Readers: Rumble strips, better road markings might fend of intrustive left turns

    The Road Warrior w/Dan Hartzell
    Regarding Monday's column on the frequency of motorists making left turns such that they encroach into the opposing-traffic lane of the road they're turning onto, I was happy to find that many people also consider this among their pet peeves. So many...

  4. Post-hurricane question: Do we really need traffic signals?

    <strong><em>Q: Regarding your observation that traffic seemed to be flowing smoothly through the intersection of 19th and Tilghman streets in Allentown when the traffic signals had no power, I've noticed the same thing. At your request, I continued to check, and had no issues for an entire week going through there with temporary stop signs posted. As long as you don't have some rude motorist to deal with, the only complication at this intersection is the turning lanes, and even that runs smoothly as long as everyone plays nice. Four stop signs might work well there permanently.</em></strong>

  5. Bookstore chain bucking trend

    Some say bookstores are on the brink of extinction, along with video and music stores, as consumers migrate to the digital world.

  6. 'Open house,' other roadside signs are litter for some motorists

    <strong><em>Q: Why are builders allowed to plaster directional signs to their new developments along the roadway and at the exit ramps on routes 22, 191, and other highways? One day in May, on 22 westbound from 191, I counted 13 exit ramps that had two signs each, one for Heritage and one for Harvest Fields in the Macungie area. These signs are posted right along the highway shoulder and at the end of the ramps, some of which resemble garbage dumps. I am a Realtor, and if we all put our signs where the builders have them, you'd have 100 signs at each ramp. Does anyone have to pay for or get permission from PennDOT to place these signs? It seems an unsafe thing to do for whoever is getting out of their vehicle to post them. Of course, there are other signs as well, for junk haulers, kick-boxing, whatever else. In the case of builders or Realtors including myself, there is no need for directional signs because of Internet maps and GPS units to locate the properties. Someone should remove these signs, and/or fine the perpetrators.</em></strong>

  7. Schoenersville traffic signals seem to fade

    <b><i>Q: I live off of Macada Road in Hanover Township and I've noticed on numerous occasions as I'm waiting to turn left onto Schoenersville Road from the Route 22 off-ramp that cars routinely run the light (going southbound on Schoenersville) in front of the on- and off-ramps for 22. Its almost as if they don't see the light because they are focusing on the next light at Macada, Road which is only about 100 yards away.</i></b>

    Of The Morning Call
