Living in the bustling city of Hackensack, NJ, has its perks, but it also comes with its challenges. One particular issue has been a constant source of stress for me and my neighbors: the lack of a visible 'Do Not Enter' sign on a problematic street. As a resident living in a nearby apartment, I find myself facing potential car accidents all too often due to drivers mistakenly or recklessly entering a one-way street.

154 state st, Hackensack

This situation persists mainly because the existing 'one way' sign is not adequately visible. It's either obscured or not illuminated properly, leading to confusion for many drivers. Daily, I witness vehicles entering the wrong way, narrowly avoiding collisions. The danger this poses is not only to the drivers but to pedestrians and residents who frequent the area.

There is a simple, actionable solution to this issue: install an additional, clearly visible 'Do Not Enter' sign that is adequately maintained and illuminated. By doing so, we can significantly reduce the likelihood of dangerous traffic incidents and ensure the safety of our community members.

Statistics from the New Jersey Department of Transportation indicate that improper signage contributes significantly to traffic violations and accidents. In areas where signage is improved, there has been a substantial reduction in such instances. We can draw on these insights to push for a safer Hackensack.

We call on the Hackensack city authorities to take immediate action. Your signature on this petition can help ensure our streets are safe and prevent potential accidents.
