PennDOT is looking into whether it makes sense to lower speeds, add flashing signs and take other measures to improve safety on the crash-prone stretch of Route 222 through Maidencreek and Richmond townships.
Those suggestions came out of a meeting Wednesday between PennDOT and state and local elected officials, business leaders and law enforcement.
The results of the invite-only session were announced Thursday in a press release from two state lawmakers who organized the meeting: Sen. Judy Schwank, a Ruscombmanor Township Democrat, and Sen. David G. Argall, a Schuylkill County Republican who represents part of Berks.
