Definitely needed.  The travel lane becomes a right turn only lane, and what appears to be the left turn lane is actually the thru lane.  I've been stuck behind vehicles at that light when I'm trying to turn right, and then said vehicle almost causes an accident when it goes straight with the adjacent thru lane.

It's redesignated. But did they actually do a good job of signing it?

Yes, beyond a couple areas where US 13 and PA 291 shields are separate from one another.  Also US 13 BUS is still not posted from the south end of PA 352.

Rage, now I have to go back to Chester as I had all US Routes in PA besides 19 and 62 clinched.

Clinching US 13 was a whole thing and I missed a few turns back in 2018 due to lack of signage – one near UPenn and another in Chester, and potentially one near where it splits off Roosevelt

I'm gonna try to do 13 in PA this year or next.

[Mr. Matté]

Which one of us was this? 

https://money.yahoo.com/penndot-employee-gets-surprise-looking-182148385.html

(only kidding, we'd steal antique and/or button copy signs only, not modern retroreflective service or wrong way signs)

[74/171FAN]

These people picked the absolute worst place to steal a sign too.  Why would you pull over to secure it next to a stockpile?

[famartin]

Who does that in broad daylight?

Now if they were installing the sign, that would be something.

One of those townships was named for William Penn's grandson.

Why do I consider Springettsbury one of my favorite Keystone State toponyms?  Dunno.

[storm2k]

I drove on the Schuylkill for the first time since they activated the VSLS system today (out in the Conshohocken and KOP area but thankfully I avoided the curve). Has there been any research on if the variable speed limits have helped reduce crashes in the area? I did get to see the limits change on a couple of them as we were in some stop and go heading for the blue route exit.

[sprjus4]

Not 100% sure, but I recall driving it back in June last year, the speed limit was set down to 35 mph though traffic was moving 55-60+ mph. Not sure how that's "helping"  things, if someone is going 35 mph in that flow, you are far more a hazard.

Honestly not entirely sure what the use of it is if that's the case... in Philly, speed limits seem to be routinely blown past by 15-20 mph (especially on I-95). If they are not going to keep up with hazards, is it just a cash-grab? Is it being enforced?
