Red light tickets fund Pa. community traffic safety grant

By LancasterOnline.com

LANCASTER, Pa. — Work on new crosswalks and shared-lane markings on Mount Joy Borough streets will get a boost from a grant funded by money raised from red light tickets in Philadelphia.

The $296,969 grant came from the state’s Automated Red Light Enforcement program, which provides funding for traffic safety projects around the state, according to an announcement from the state Department of Transportation.

Borough officials plan to use the money for two new crosswalks located at the intersection of Main and Market Streets, and two at the intersection of East Main and Barbara Streets. The borough will also add 10 shared-lane markings along Main Street, designed to improve visibility and safety for cyclists.
