2. If I have a Junior Drivers License, can I drive between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM?

Yes, but only for very limited purposes. Junior operators may drive between their home and place of work provided they have documentation from their employer verifying their work schedule. Junior licensed drivers involved in firefighting or volunteer charitable service must also have the appropriate documents with them when operating during restricted hours. However, no one under 17 may drive to school-related activities during driving curfew hours.

4. How do I get a “Children Playing” sign in my neighborhood?

Cranberry does not put up ‘Children Playing’ signs because children play in every neighborhood. The Township’s policy is designed to prevent sign proliferation.

5. Can I have speed bumps or speed humps placed on my roadway?

Cranberry Township does not install speed bumps or speed humps for several reasons.

They make it more difficult to remove snow and ice.
Children use the bumps and humps for skateboarding.
Drivers can be caught off guard, creating potential dangers.
They can create a liability for the Township resulting from accidents allegedly caused by the obstacles or from allegations of damage to vehicles while driving over the obstacles.

6. Are dirt bikes or all-terrain vehicles permitted to operate on private property?

No one is allowed to operate a dirt bike or a quad on private property without the permission of the landowner. But to keep them off your land, the property needs to be posted “No Trespassing.” If it is not posted, police intervention has to be requested by the landowner; a neighbor’s complaint is not a sufficient basis for police action.

7. How do I get a stop sign installed?

Stop signs are installed on roadways only when they meet specific engineering criteria established by PennDOT. For Township-owned roads, request the Engineering Department to conduct a study to determine if those criteria are met. Stop sign requests for the purpose of merely slowing traffic do not meet stop sign criteria.

8. Can I get the speed limit reduced on a roadway?

Speed limits on roadways are based on a variety of factors including traffic volume and road design. For Township-owned roads, speed studies are performed by the Engineering Department. The department will forward speed study requests for State-owned roads to PennDOT.
