Ridgewood NJ, the aerial photo is of Route 17 in the 1950’s (?) of the traffic circles on Route 17 one on Racetrack road on what is now the overpass that bridges from East Saddle River Road to Paramus Road . The traffic circles on 17 were notoriously dangerous and during the 60’s and 70’s several people were run over crossing Route 17 in the area. The larger circle near Glen Ave had a house in the middle ,but was removed when the ,overpass was built in 1963(?).
