Bucks County is undoubtedly a beautiful place to call home, but its dense population can also make it a dangerous place to drive, causing an increase in car accidents. In this article, we’ll explore the roads that have recently made headlines as some of the deadliest in the Commonwealth. Additionally, we’ll shed light on the unique challenges posed by the Route 202 bypass in Doylestown and offer essential tips to stay safe on the roads.
Recently, two Bucks County routes grabbed attention as some of the deadliest in Pennsylvania. Bristol Pike, spanning from Levittown Parkway to Beaver Street, and Street Road, from High Avenue to Central Avenue, recorded the 4th and 7th highest instances of fatal accidents in the state. Being aware of the risks on these roads can help you take necessary precautions while driving in these areas and prevent a car accident.
Just a short distance from our offices in the heart of Doylestown lies the Route 202 bypass. While it didn’t make the list of deadliest roads, it is no stranger to motor vehicle crashes. Recently, the Doylestown Township Police responded to a two-vehicle crash just minutes from our office. The bypass presents unique challenges, particularly for inexperienced or inattentive drivers, with its meandering lanes, turns, and hills that can invite head-on collisions. Moreover, the presence of a pedestrian and bicycle path alongside the bypass adds an extra layer of danger, bringing distracted motorists into close proximity with pedestrians and bicyclists.
