Paramus NJ, The DOT has a big problem on Front Road & Midland Avenue in Paramus that is why a rare warning sign has been placed on From Road at Midland Avenue before traffic signals, “Right Turn Must Yield To Pedestrians”.

Scared drivers who would prefer not to make a right on red are forced to make a right turn by horn blowing motorists from behind.

The ability to drive could be considered essential in this day and age. It allows people the freedom to cover more ground and opens up opportunities that would be difficult without wheels. There is more traffic on the road than ever before. In the US alone, there are 276 million drivers; that’s a lot of vehicles! More traffic means more risk, and it’s a sad fact that 1.35 million people die in traffic accidents each year.

Ridgewood NJ, according to Boyd Loving in a Facebook post, ” It’s official. Barring approval of an estimated $4 million improvement project to widen Glenwood Road, that street will become one-way eastbound (vehicular traffic from Ridgewood to Ho-Ho-Kus only) within the next 6-12 months. The one-way change/designation for vehicles is being mandated by the NJDOT in conjunction with their plans to upgrade the NJ Transit grade level rail crossing at the bottom of the hill. Village and Borough of Ho-Ho-Kus elected officials fought NJDOT on the issue, but NJDOT is refusing to budge citing numerous safety hazards associated with the continuation of two-way vehicular traffic at the grade level rail crossing.”
