Do you think that people calming devices would also be helpful? George Reid photo.
This press release is from Neptune Township:
The Township of Neptune Department of Public Works in concert with the Department of Engineering began installing the first of nine temporary traffic calming devices to be placed around the Township on August 7th along South Riverside Drive.
This device is a speed table designed to slow down traffic. There will also be advanced warning signs in place after the construction of the speed table. This is a posting to make drivers in this area aware that they will be approaching the speed table and to slow down upon approach. The other traffic calming devices will be installed around the Township in the weeks to come.
The locations of the initial speed tables will be:
- South Riverside Drive at Volunteer Park
- Jumping Brook Road, near firehouse
- Jumping Brook Road near Little League Complex
- Green Grove Road
- Wakefield Road
- 10th Avenue
- Broadway
- North Riverside Drive
These locations were selected based upon information collected by the digital speed signs, police enforcement, engineering reviews, and public complaints. There is a list of approximately 50 locations that we will try to place speed tables over the course of the year to determine if this is an effective component of our efforts to reduce speeding in residential neighborhoods.
