I’m relieved to see that the college is holding a deer-culling operation this Fall. The college indicates that COVID-19 protocols will be followed. Has anybody told the deer about that?
PA pedalcycle rules
The Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, Section 3508 (“Pedalcycles on sidewalks and pedalcycle paths”), says: “A person shall not ride a pedalcycle upon a sidewalk in a business district… [and] ... shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian....”
Stop signs and sightlines
I attended a lively and informative meeting of Swarthmore Borough’s Safety Committee. The principal agenda item was about potential four-way stop signage at the intersection of Cornell and Yale avenues, to reduce collisions. At the same time, the presence of stop signs on Yale at Kenyon Avenue was noted. It’s apparent that those serve only as a traffic-calming measure, principally for eastbound traffic on Yale Avenue.
