If you care to help make a difference in Lakewood traffic, here’s a chance to do so.
Maser Consulting will be holding a Traffic Relief Workshop tonight in Lakewood, where residents will have the opportunity to meet their team of traffic engineers, and you will have the opportunity to collaborate with them on solutions, ideas, and opportunities to help alleviate our traffic problems.
The event will take place at the Municipal auditorium at 7pm.
Turn the light at cross and James 90 degrees.
Bonehead engineers who put that left turn light in facing the woods on Franklin, should turn it so southbound traffic on Cross Has reasonable chance to turn left on to James.
Maybe even put an extended greenlight with the arrow like they do on County line.
Oh yeah, and let’s keep building more houses and basement apartments 😀
in June of 1957 Hurley ave to rt9 was a cobble stone street there was a study made to improve rt9 and pave Hurley since then millions are spent on eng. studies I cant count the times they came to my place of business on rt9 with there ideas it was all to make them look good spread some money around and get a few votes well when I look back it wasnt that bad Hurley Ave got paved and I got a new drive way oh the boat dock on rt 9 across from the Sinclair station was taken down and the township dock inspector lost his job
a big contributor to the southbound traffic on route 9 is southbound cars making left turns onto Sherwood ave (just south of prospect) and more so, spruce street. while they wait for an opening to make a left turn, the cars behind them just sit and wait, so traffic builds up. In general having a street right near a major intersection is a bad idea. some examples – caranetta (near central and nine). Pine river entrance, forest park entrance, marc (all near mlk and pine). Sherwood ave (prospect and 9) holly street (clover and 88)
We all know that Lakewood needs more through streets. The town should make another street go through to Park ave by the tracks. This will ease the traffic on 7th st and County line. They own the land by E 9th so it shouldn’t be a big deal but they’re building houses there so it needs to get done FAST! I can’t make it tonight – maybe someone could present this idea?
Coming from first street u should not be aloud to make a right or left tern on to the 9
It makes so much traffic there!
Coming down the 9 making a left onto the 88 the lane gets so backed up and messes up the lane going strate down the 9!
y does the 9 have to tern into one lane and merge? Just leav it two lanes and the right lane will become the terning lane to get into central! I think it’s pretty simple.
someone should tell the all the ideas from tls
One way streets in town from Monmouth to Forest, odd numbers one way west, even one way East up until eleventh street, since cars are being parked on both sides of the narrow streets. Clifton one way south from fifth with angle parking. Left turn lanes and arrows at every traffic light in Lakewood.
LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM!! like on Yafo in Israel. its cheap and it can just go up and down the nine it would eliminate so much of the traffic
You have got to be kidding! There is no room for cars where are you going a rail? And no way will the rail take any cars off rout 9.
it doesn’t take up a lot of room. if its safe and reliable many people will take it instead of driving themselves to yeshiva. ease congestion considerably
and when the train stops so does all traffic on Rt9
no sir, the rail is on the far right or left of rt nine. the cross traffic would have to stop for the train yes but the signaling would have to be worked out
They should continue Monmouth Ave until cedar bridge Ave to take away from Clifton & 88 traffic.
Lakewood is bursting at the seam because too many moved into Lakewood. You can’t fix this with that many people living in Lakewood. Your township planning board has allowed this to happen. Is today’s education so poor that common sense has gone by the wayside? You can’t keep squeezing people into Lakewood without having serious consequences like current traffic.
