Traffic Signal Coming to the
Intersection of Routes 896 and 841
Franklin Township is pleased to announce the Township has been awarded $184,000 through PennDOT’s Automated Red Light Enforcement (ARLE) Funding Program for the signalization of the intersection of SR 896 and SR 841. Over the past five years interim safety improvements have been made by PennDOT and the Township to increase awareness at the intersection including additional warning signage, rumble strips, pedestal mounted flashing warning signals on both SR 896 approaches and, most recently, implementation of a four-way stop at the intersection. Despite these short-term improvements, this intersection remained a safety concern to residents and commuters.
