Residents and commuters in Middletown, NJ are becoming increasingly concerned about the excessive speeding on Holland Road, particularly between Church Street and Red Hill Road. This stretch of road has seen a consistent lack of adherence to the posted speed limit, creating not only a disturbance for the local community but also posing significant safety risks for pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists.

In recent months, residents have observed numerous instances where vehicles dangerously exceed the speed limit, making it particularly hazardous for families and children who live and play in the area. The responsible use of our roads is crucial to maintaining the safety and well-being of everyone in our community, yet the current measures are insufficient to enforce the speed limit effectively.

Installing three speed humps on this section of Holland Road could serve as a practical solution to slow down traffic, reduce speeding incidents, and enhance safety without the constant need for law enforcement intervention. Speed humps are proven to be effective traffic calming measures that can significantly decrease the speed of vehicles, ensuring a safer environment for all road users.

Additional benefits of speed humps include reduced noise and lower accident rates, factors which would greatly improve the quality of life for Holland Road residents. Moreover, these physical barriers provide a 24/7 solution, meaning that there is a constant deterrent in place to prevent speeding, irrespective of law enforcement presence.

We urge the local municipal authorities, traffic engineers, and community leaders of Middletown, NJ to prioritize the installation of these speed humps. By signing this petition, you are advocating for a safer and more secure neighborhood for all. Please join us in pushing for this necessary change.
