Snow and Ice

Extreme Winter Weather Conditions – An Update from Yeadon Public Works Department

In response to the recent snowstorm, the Yeadon Borough Public Works Department has been working tirelessly to ensure the safety and accessibility of our streets.

Over the course of the storm, five employees worked a combined total of 18 hours of overtime to clear snow and treat our roadways. We used over 49 tons of salt to help melt the snow and prevent ice buildup.

However, with the extreme temperatures we’ve experienced in the Northeast corridor, we are seeing an ongoing challenge. As the sun melts the snow during the day, the temperatures drop sharply at night, causing water to refreeze and creating icy conditions on the roads. This is a common issue in our region and is affecting not only Yeadon, but surrounding communities as well.

We want to assure you that we are continuing to monitor the situation closely. Our team remains ready to respond as necessary to keep our streets safe. Please drive cautiously and stay tuned for further updates.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Public Works Department
Yeadon Borough

Martin Luther King Jr.

Borough Offices Closed in Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Yeadon Borough Offices will be closed on Monday, January 20th, 2025, in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
 


 

“The universal appeal of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was his burning desire to unite people. That flame of unity continues to inspire Yeadon to be a place where all people can live, love, learn and grow.”

– Mayor Rohan Hepkins

 


Yeadon Parking Reminder

Reminder: Wrong-Way Parking is Illegal in Yeadon

Yeadon Police Department

In Pennsylvania, it is illegal to park facing the wrong way on a street, meaning you must always park parallel to the curb and with your vehicle facing the same direction as the traffic flow on the road; parking against the flow of traffic is considered a violation under state law.

§ 3354. Additional parking regulations.

(a) Two-way highways. –Except as otherwise provided in this section, every vehicle standing or parked upon a two-way highway shall be positioned parallel to and with the right-hand wheels within 12 inches of the right-hand curb or, in the absence of a curb, as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder.

(b) One-way highways.–Except as otherwise provided in this section, every vehicle standing or parked upon a one-way highway shall be positioned parallel to the curb or edge of the highway in the direction of authorized traffic movement with its right-hand wheels within 12 inches of the right-hand curb or, in the absence of a curb, as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder, or with its left-hand wheels within 12 inches of the left-hand curb or, in the absence of a curb, as close as practicable to the left edge of the left-hand shoulder.
