[quote="Richard Moody"][quote="guestpass"]Yes, this is annoying.  They seem to be intentionally making it hard to know what the legal limit is.  However, I called both the Cranbury and Plainsboro PD's to find out the facts.

In Cranbury, Cranbury Neck become legally 50 MPH the moment you pass Wynnewood if heading toward Plainsboro, or remains 50 MPH until you hit Wynnewood coming toward Cranbury Village.  Many people are rightfully confused by the lack of a sign indicating the change in speed after this road and seem to make up their own assumptions, gradually increasing to 35 MPH until they pass Applegate Court which seems to be the place where they all assume it goes to either 40 or 50 MPH even without the sign.

The other direction is just as confusing now that West Windsor have changed the speed limits in their portion of Cranbury Neck.  Whereas it was previously legally 50 MPH until you reached the park next to Grover's Mill, it now becomes 40 MPH the moment you cross the bridge between Plainsboro and West Windsor, just after Grover's Mill Road (which is not near Grover's Mill itself).  It's clear when traveling in the direction of West Windsor, but there are no signs on Cranbury Neck when traveling toward Plainsboro or Cranbury to note that the speed increases to 50 MPH once you leave West Windsor.  As a result, most drivers seem to travel closer to 40 MPH instead of the legal 50 MPH in the Plainsboro portion of Cranbury Neck.

If you want to organize support to go to the County and get proper signage put up noting the 50 MPH change in speed at the bridge and at Wynnewood, I'm all for it.[/quote]

Thanks for clarifying the 50 mph  limit and where it starts and ends on Cranbury Neck Rd.  I drive it most days and it's certainly not clear.

I'd be glad to help you with a petition but a far more important petition would be to get the TC to stop the use of daytime fire and first aid call out sirens now that they are no longer used during night time hours. But I've been there before and nobody else wants to stand up and take it before the TC which I did about 18 months ago.

And no more personal abuse on this topic please![/quote]
