Slow Down in the rain !!! Especially young children are out in the morning !!!
To all those that allowed and continue to allow the complete irresponsible building on every free inch of space without having proper roads to accommodate the traffic, you have made these so roads so congested and now people are forced to drive aggressively or else they sit in traffic for hours on end…u have blood on ur hands. I don’t envy you after 120…
More than agreed!!!!!!
Forest Ave. is a road with hundreds and hundreds of people, some walking, some driving and some standing in one place (maybe talking or texting). The drivers need to slow down. Also some times accidents are happening because the driver is making a left turn but he or she only puts on their left blinker about one second before the turn. The guy behind does not see any blinker so he passes him and then the other guy quickly puts on his blinker and turns right into the vehicle that is passing.

Forest Avenue has nothing to do with overbuilding. Its not nice to make irresponsible statements.
even if there is no overbuilding on forest ave per se, the whole of Lakewood has become very aggressive drivers due to the traffic situation. just look at the quick check/chai care intersection that has a video posted here 3x a week of a accident…. these people who allowed the overbuilding and put tens of thousands of extra cars on roads that can’t handle them, have a lot to answer for…
the problem with the blinkers causes many accidents. i hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Ribono Shel Olam took away nevuah from klal yisroel many decades ago. there have been many occasions when i came to an intersection and didnt know if i was to go right, left, or straight ahead of oncoming traffic. it’s the business of every other driver on the road to know which way you are going. please dont keep it a secret. thank you.

How about a Kol koreh about safe driving??? Obviously, the oilem needs tremendous improvement and chizuk in this area of pikuach nefesh.
I think it’s high time for the National Guard to take over Lakewood driving duties.
Matis, please. If you’re unhappy move to Virginia or Cleveland or some other quiet town, I know many ppl who’ve done that recently. BH klal yisrael is growing! Stop kvetching so much!!!!
