Traffic issues up for debate

[news]

Speed limits still a concern

Concerned about the speed limit on Old Trenton Road? How about pedestrian safety on Main Street?

The Township Committee wants to hear residents' ideas, concerns and suggestions on Cranbury traffic and pedestrian safety during a Township Committee meeting on at 7 p.m. Nov. 13 in the Large Group Instruction room at Cranbury School.

The traffic subcommittee met Monday to identify specific topics to discuss at the meeting, Township Administrator Tom Witt said Tuesday. Some areas the committee wants feedback on include safety on Old Trenton and Plainsboro roads, bus safety on Shady Brook Lane, pedestrian crosswalks on Main Street and signage on Route 130, he said.

"There have been major concerns by a lot of people in Cranbury Township regarding pedestrian safety and traffic safety issues," Mr. Witt said.

On Shady Brook Lane, Mr. Witt said there is a cul-de-sac with a school bus stop that forces bus drivers to back up in order to turn around, which goes against policy.

"There's new policy that school buses, without anyone to stand behind the bus and guide them, cannot back up," he said. "Therefore, the Township Committee is going to look into that issue."

Mr. Witt said the committee has been talking about different ways to keep pedestrians and children who ride school buses safe on Old Trenton Road.

Yep, real pleasure driving on that road now.
Much safer.
Might as well pack yourself in bubble pack before going outside.
What else can we tinker with to improve.
How about some speed bumbs on main street?
I used to like driving around here.

Funny how the people who live in shadow oaks don't even go 35
