Speeding in Hempfield Neighborhoods

Speeding Continues to Be a Problem in Hempfield Neighborhoods.

A recurring problem is happening in Hempfield Township where speeding motorists continue to give parents serious safety concerns in a number of residential subdivisions. The Township Supervisors are regularly getting phone calls and e-mails from concerned parents regarding the high number of speeders traveling the roadways. Whether residents are leaving for work, or taking their kids to school, there must be consideration for the speed in which they travel.

Parents are deeply concerned that speeding motorists are disregarding the potential safety issues surrounding kids playing in the neighborhoods.

The Township regularly sends notifications to residents and ask the Pennsylvania State Police for targeted enforcement in neighborhoods with high number of complaints. The Supervisors are also asking parents to be more aware of what their children are doing on roadways. Kids that are weaving in and around parked cars can also be a hazard.
