Description
Between the hours of 6am and 8am the lights at Overbrook Rd and Brook Rd are extremely long for east/westbound traffic crossing Brook. Between 7:30 and 8:10am, parents are dropping children off at the Seven Hills school and it causes a large backup of Eastbound traffic because there is no left-turn lane at this intersection, and cars driving straight on Overbrook, may have to wait through several cycles to make it through the light.
