Lowhill Township supervisors were presented with requests during their May 7 meeting for new signage along several rural roads.

Township Administrator Brian Carl told the board he received one request for speed reduction along North Lane.

According North Lane resident Pierre St. Jacques, an incident several weeks ago prompted him to call state police due to someone speeding.

"In talking to one another, the officer brought to my attention there are no posted [speed limit] signs," said St. Jacques.

Carl spoke to The Press about speed limits on rural roads.

"If a road is not posted, it automatically has a 55 mph speed limit," Carl said. "On this particular road, there are only advisory curve signs, but no actual posted speed limit signs."

St. Jacques said traveling along North Lane is dangerous.

"There are a lot of people who use it as a cut through from Haasadahl to Route 100 via Kerns-ville," St. Jacques said.

According to Chairman Richard Hughes, he and Carl previously discussed the request.

"We will do whatever we have to do to get signs up," Hughes said. "We understand where you're coming from, but there are a few things we have to do to get a posted sign there."

The board authorized a speed study to be performed and brought back to the board for further action.

Also plagued by dangerous speeds is the stretch of Apollo Road from Highland leading up to the cul-de-sac at Apollo Court.

Resident Bob Mohr attended the meeting.

"I have lived at the corner of Apollo Court over 40 years," said Mohr. "Now, when my grandchildren come to visit, we can never let them ride their bikes out there anymore."

The issue was made a priority by the board and "Watch Children" signs were put in place.
