If you recall, 2 additional Policemen were hired a few years ago with the explanation given for that additional expense, they were necessary to help control Speeding through Main St and Maplewood Ave. It would be interesting to see the Court statistics for the past five years to see if Citations issued for speeding increased as a result. From a perception standpoint there has been no change, as the use of these two roads as a cut-through from 130 remains unchecked and dangerous. Blinking signs are a joke without enforcement.

Every month the Chief gives a report to the TC on tickets and stops. Instead of complaining maybe attend a meeting and listen.

Walk down Station Rd. on any given day and you'll see how fast the cars are going. Cranbury Neck in the 25 as well. P.D. can't be everywhere at once but if there is a greater penalty for getting caught it may put a dent into speeding.

Retirements have put staffing levels at dangerous levels. They also haven’t added overall to the staff in 20yrs. Same man power levels just replacements except for adding 2 officers last few years but that did not last long w retirements and injuries.

Same response every time. "Attend a meeting . stop complaining"

Stop accepting the Unchecked speeding and making and accepting excuses. Retirements etc, etc. boo hoo. All excuses at the expense of Public safety. You pay a lot of taxes, you should not have to duck for cover on Maplewood Ave at 4-5PM If other Towns can do it so should Cranbury.

You said you wanted to know how many tickets were written. They report this at the TC meeting once a month. If you want the answer then attend a meeting and you will hear it. Or do you just like to complain and say nothing is being done.

At a TC meetings in the past when this was discussed, I got the impression that since we use the plainsboro courts that issuing tickets was not encouraged. Was a few years ago but seems that’s the same sentiment in that you don’t see many pulled over. Just my experience but I have witnessed speeders let off with warning and while Oman a walk saw an officers on his phones in a traffic post literally while a car ran a red light. Human error and honestly not a knock on the PD. I believe that they do a tremendous job keeping us safe, just not sure ticketing is a priority from a township administration/ TC perspective and as one poster rightly assumes above, that’s what stops people from speeding, not signs asking them to slow down.
