Intersection Safety Concerns in Rural Lancaster County
Intersections like S Line Rd and Wabash Rd, located in quieter rural zones, may appear low-risk but can be deceptively dangerous—especially where sightlines are limited or traffic signs are sparse. Collisions in these areas often result from drivers misjudging speed, failing to stop at signs, or not anticipating cross-traffic on two-lane roads.
East Cocalico Township and its surrounding communities experience a unique mix of local farm traffic, delivery vehicles, and residents traveling between small towns. This dynamic makes intersection awareness critically important even when traffic volume seems low.
To help reduce crash risk in rural communities, drivers are urged to slow down near intersections, come to complete stops, and remain alert for approaching vehicles from unexpected angles. These simple precautions can go a long way in preventing injuries on Lancaster County’s scenic but sometimes unpredictable roadways.
