New Traffic Calming Signs

The Hempfield Township Traffic Committee recently designed new traffic calming signs. The purpose of the signs is to get motorist attention and make them aware of their speed and make them slow down. The Hempfield Township Public Works crews will be placing these signs on Township roads that have or had speeding issues. These signs will be moved throughout the Township and will be used in conjunction with the two (2) speed trailer devices the Township already uses daily. The Township Supervisors are asking Hempfield township motorists to be aware of the speed limit and obey the traffic laws.
