Traffic Signal Sync Testing Begins on Street Road

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 7, 2026

The humidity is taking a breather this morning, but the road crews aren't. If you're heading toward the Turnpike, keep an eye out for engineers tweaking the lights along Street Road starting at 9:00 AM.

📰 The Lead

Commuters who have spent many a morning staring at the red lights of the Philmont Avenue intersection have reason for cautious optimism today. Lower Southampton Township is officially beginning the live testing phase of its "Smart Signal" synchronization project. Using a recently awarded state grant, the township has outfitted several key intersections along the Street Road corridor with sensors designed to detect real-time traffic volume.

Starting this morning, engineers will be monitoring the flow from a central hub, overriding the old pre-set timers to see how the new system handles the post-holiday rush. The goal is to reduce idling time and prevent the "accordion effect" that often clogs the artery between Bustleton Pike and the township line. While the long-term promise is a smoother drive, expect some erratic light cycles today as the software is calibrated to our local driving habits.
