Description

Some weeks ago, a radar trailer was dropped on our street. Since then, things seem to have gotten even worse with speeding and reckless driving.

Because of traffic on Middlesex and Princeton in the morning and evening, our street is now being used as a pass through for tractor trailer trucks and commercial vehicles that are not paying attention to the speed limit or the presence of children on the street.

This is a residential street with many new families and small children trying to play on the front lawns, and no sidewalks.

how can truck traffic be discouraged from using this small street as a shortcut? My neighbors and I are willing to consider any number of traffic calming measures, including slow bumps, narrowing, etc, if it will make the street safer for families and encourage trucks and speeders to stick to route 4 and route 3a.

Thanks
