The speed limit on Dairy Road in West Penn Township was reduced to 25 mph several months ago, but a resident said motorists continue to speed.

“People just don’t even pay attention to it,” Michael Jachowitz said.

He told West Penn Township supervisors this week that other residents share the same concerns.

To address the problem, Jachowitz said he would have “no problem” with having a township officer time speeds from his property.

“It’s a joke. Nobody is even doing the 25 anymore,” he said.

Sergeant-in-Charge John Kaczmarczyk said he was open to Jachowitz’s offer.

He said he has checked speeds from another location on Dairy Road and has issued a few citations.

Speed limits on Dairy Road were reduced from 55 mph.

In keeping with speed, supervisors Chairman Tony Prudenti noted that a resident had requested a reduced speed on Cold Spring Road between Pine Hill Road and Route 443.

“The road does meet the criteria for speed reduction to 25 mph,” Prudenti said. “However, it will take 10 signs, posts and hardware.”

The cost to install a sign is $130, for a total of $1,300, he noted.

“That’s about 5 miles of road to do” with signage, Prudenti said.

He wasn’t sure if money was available for the signs in the road department’s budget but said 2025 budget discussions are underway.

“So I’m sure that we can accomplish this come January,” he said. “My point is, we’re on it. Give us a little time.”
