​​​​Washington Lane Corridor Safety Improvements​​

County: Philadelphia

State Route(s): 4019

Local Name(s): Washington Lane

Project Type: Safety Improvements

This proposed project includes pedestrian and traffic signal improvements at select intersections along the Washington Lane corridor.  The work will occur at the following intersections:

• Washington Lane and Stenton Avenue
• Washington Lane and Mansfield Avenue 
• Washington Lane and Rodney Avenue 
• Washington Lane and Lowber Avenue 
• Washington Lane and Woolston Avenue 
• Washington Lane and Thouron Avenue 
• Washington Lane and Limekiln Pike 
• Washington Lane and Ogontz Avenue
• Washington Lane and Cheltenham Avenue
• Washington Lane at 76th Street/Blair Road 
  
  

The proposed work includes:

• Installing retroreflective backplates on traffic signal mast arms.
  
• Adding pedestrian countdown timers at signalized intersections.
  
• Coordinating signals along Washington Lane to improve operations (removing arterials). 
• Improving visibility of traffic signal displays (instead of the pedestal-mast arm text as many side streets still have pedestals and not overhead displays).
  
• Constructing curb bump-outs at select locations.
  
• Constructing a flashing beacon and raised crosswalk at 76th Street/Blair Road.
