Traffic Safety Measures


Traffic Safety Measures
The Issue
In the last 18 years I have witnessed multiple car crashes at the 3-way intersection of Country Club Road and Talamini Rd and this section of Country Club Road in Bridgewater, NJ. The last five years it has become progressively worse with speeders, along with disregarding signs, school buses, pedestrians, property etc. Living at this intersection was never this bad up until the last five years.
Accidents are becoming a constant problem and the normal around her includingthe sounds of horns and brakes screaming . From in our yards, taking out mailboxes, landing in trees on the hill, never yielding when we are turning into or out of our driveways, rolling through the stop sign or not stopping at all, not stopping for red light school buses, driving around stopped school buses and basically running us and others off the road on Country Club Rd.
Most recent accident was a speeder and stop sign blower
We the Residents who live near this intersection and on Country Club Road and Talamini Roads are asking the town to patrol the stop sign. If we can install a soft blinking stop sign on Talamini Road/Country Club Road, A Dangerous Intersection warning (Red Blinking) sign further on Talamini Road alerting motorists to the dangerous intersection ahead along with warning for obstructed view looking south, a safety feature giving sight to cars that the road ends ( two additional street lights) one on light post on Country Club going North at the T and the other on the light post going North just after T (Opposite sides and not parallel.) More Police monitoring. soft Blinking intersection signs on Country Club from both directions warning of Intersection, guardrails if applicable at intersection defining the end of the road if all other options are exhausted. This whole swatch of CC and end of Talamini have no street lights.
We understand a blinking light may not be the best solution but we need solutions where we can enjoy our neighborhood and not worry about being run over
RUMBLE STRIPS ON COUNTRY CLUB are a must
Country Club Road (if applicable) reduce speed just before the Van Holten intersection to just after the Steeplechase intersection. Speed traps are needed within this area of excessive speed otherwise. The amount of speeding at this part of Country Club is excessive. Multiple complaints go unheard with the amount of speeding, passing red blinking buses, to getting almost ran off the road trying to turn in or out of our driveways and some folks doing at least more than one time the full speed limit. These are just some examples. In 2022 this as some of us neighbors gathered, we witnessed at least three people going well over the speed limit in less than five minutes, two additional folks rolling through the stop sign like nothing.
This needs to stop! We need to ensure better traffic safety measures with the number of drivers on the road . We need this to protect our families, our homes, our neighbors, and our pedestrian friends who frequent our sidewalks.
Many use this area to bypass the excessive traffic conditions on the 206 ramp. It is so they do not have to sit in bumper ro bumper traffic to cross 287.
Accidents happen, but carelessness is a danger to many of us. Please help us calm our roads.
Thank you
