Too fast for my own good, should have said "affordable".

Now onto the potholes.

There's a fairly big bump in the eastbound lane of Lincoln Highway East in Ronks, just across the road from Bluegate Farms produce and bake shop.

Not sure it's a safety issue — if it is, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's maintenance department here in Lancaster County will fix it quickly, manager Scott Tanguy said Wednesday — but it's big enough that you hear it when a truck hits it.

And, thanks to it being between routes 896 and 897, it's going to get more than a temporary patch. That stretch of road recently got added to work being funded by the federal stimulus law, Tanguy said.

"It was an on-again, off-again project," he said. "I was recently told that it's back on again."

I travel through here everrrry day to/from work and it is absolutely rediculous! Not only this problem, but the ruts leading up to the light where trucks have braked, time and time again, causing there to be massive ruts and ditches from tires.
I'm just hoping this doesn't happen during "tourist season" as there is already a massive traffic back up daily. Just yesterday the traffic was backed up from the light at Ronks Rd and 30 allllll the way to Revere Tavern. I'm glad i was headed the opposite direction!

Also why are the left turns onto the Route 30 entrance ramps (East and West) from Roherstown Road only on the green arrow? It's not like they are "blind" locations. It must be frustrating for those entering the highway to sit there at 6AM without a single car anywhere in sight!


I'm guess because its two lanes of traffic. In any case, its dumb. I just ignore it, or if they are cars there go to the next intersection and do a u-turn.

That's as bad as Lancaster putting up all those "No Turn On Red" a few years ago. To me it's dumb to want to make a right turn and have to sit through a light cycle to go, when you can see for half a block or more. I thought the turn on red was to save fuel.
