This document represents the findings and recommendations for the Congestion and Crash Site Analysis Program study conducted in Chester County in Fiscal Year 2012. This program represents an effort to improve the mobility and safety on roadways in the DVRPC region. The goal of the program is to identify cost-effective improvement strategies that will reduce congestion and crashes and improve mobility and safety for all road users. Working with a data-driven process and the Chester County Planning Commission, the intersections of Charlestown Road at Pikeland Road/Trevor Lane and Charlestown Road at Hollow Road were chosen. In-depth crash, speed, and level of service analyses were performed to gain an understanding of the issues. With input from the advisory committee, improvement strategies were identified to address the issues. As appropriate, proposed improvement strategies were tested for effectiveness. The study resulted in recommendations to improve safety and reduce congestion at the two intersections. A majority of the recommendations will be implemented by PennDOT in the future.Geographic Area Covered: Charlestown Township, Chester County
