Two Accidents in Two Weeks at Two Proposed Billboard Locations

Billboards by nature are meant to grab the drivers attention, right?
Expert in Human Factors, Jerry Wachtel, in his testimony for Haverford Township stated, after evaluating the locations, that West Chester Pike is already a very challenging roadway with many curb cuts, Septa buses stopping and going, pedestrians, many other on premise signs..... In his opinion, Billboards were not appropriate at the proposed locations because of the existing challenges. Basically unnecessary additional distractions.
Case in point, 2 accidents in 2 weeks at 2 of those locations: Smile by Design across from Manoa Shopping Center and United Check Cashing next to Trinity Lutheran Church.

  2. These are troubling signs. Two accidents in one week over a specific traffic spot? Something must be evaluated.
