This is very true with Gettysburg as well. There are so many major roads in and out of Gettysburg, several of them meeting at the main central square, that traffic is pretty much a nightmare at least on weekends. Many of the other small, well-preserved PA towns are the same way, as you pointed out. That being said, with that much slow-moving traffic, it isn't really hard to still get around safely as a pedestrian. When traffic is moving that slowly, nobody seems to care much if you happen to cross the street in front of them, it's not like anyone's really moving much anyhow!
