Long-Awaited Crosswalk Brings New Safety to Brownsville Road
Feasterville Trevose, PA · September 17, 2026
Keep an eye out along Brownsville Road this morning—brand-new pedestrian signals are freshly powered up right at the township line.
The Lead
Township and state officials gathered along Brownsville Road yesterday to officially dedicate a new high-visibility pedestrian crosswalk and flashing safety signals at the Lower Southampton and Bensalem border. The long-awaited installation marks the completion of a multi-year safety initiative spearheaded by local families and regional lawmakers to protect walkers crossing between neighborhood streets and local businesses. Secured with state transportation funding and engineered alongside PennDOT, the project introduces push-button activation beacons, bright pavement striping, and ADA-compliant sidewalk curb ramps across the busy commercial roadway. The corridor sees thousands of vehicles daily, making a controlled walking point an urgent priority for nearby residents. PennDOT has finalized the electrical and signage work, and local police departments will monitor the intersection this week to ensure drivers yield the right-of-way.

Spotlight & Story
- Buck Road Thousands navigate Route 532 daily, but Buck Road draws its name from the Buck Hotel at Bridgetown Pike. In the 1700s, the tavern served as a stagecoach hub and polling house, prompting early cartographers to label the highway after the wayside inn.
