York Road near Maory Road
New white lines were recently (late June) painted on many roads patrolled by the Carroll Township Police, including siddonsburg road and york road. Possibly the wost trap is going down the very long steep hill next to Maory road (speed limit 45, going toards Mechanicsburg / Upper Allen Township). Today (8.27.07) is the first time I saw Carroll Township Police enforcing this trap. An officer sat at the bottom of the hill right after the intersection on the right side of the road. Because the white lines are so big (about a foot or two thick), he could see them from all the way down there. He was really hard to see until you got close and it is too late. I saw him drinking a cup of coffee and then pull over a car a little later. If you look for cars at the bottom of the hill when you are going down, you can see him in time to break. Be careful on this hill and in general between white lines in areas patrolled by Carroll Township police. They generally paint the lines on steep hills to exploit drivers who don’t ride their brakes. And most people go about 10 or 15 over where most of their white lines are painted.
