Street Signs that Are Just too Small in Ridgewood & Glen Rock
by Frank Geraghty
Glen Rock NJ, small road signs over intersections are not only annoying to motorists but can cause a problem. In Glen Rock a motorist driving from the post office along Glen avenue who stops at Rock road is confronted by a small sign above the intersection which is not easy to read because it is small “NO TURN ON Red 7A–6P Mon —Sat.” According to the FHWA it only suggests placing such a sign on crossbar near the signal. It clearly states that that this recommendation is just a guidance,not a requirement. This confusion can be eliminated by a much bigger sign placed on the right corner next to “DO NOT BLOCK” where motorists can read it.

How comments get approved on the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, while we are updated the “New” Ridgewood blog format , here is a quick review on how comments get approved on this blog . First we do not publish threats . We do not publish racist or bigoted language . In general we try to minimize the name calling but there is some wiggle room on this one . If your willing to call people names be willing to be called names , alot of people have trouble with this one . Some times a rephrasing of a comment is all that’s needed to get it published . There is a lower standard for attacking public figures and politicians than there is for ordinary citizens. And remember even in Ridgewood there are more than a few “crazies” out there.
