Slow Down In Our Town
Monroe Township Police Department Urges Motorists to “Slow Down In Our Town”
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. – The Monroe Township Police Department today launched its “Slow Down In Our Town” educational awareness campaign in collaboration with Middlesex County and the New Jersey Department of Highway Traffic Safety.
Mayor Gerald W. Tamburro, Freeholder Leslie Koppel, representatives from Middlesex County Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program and members of the Monroe Township Police Department gathered to launch the program this morning with residents of the first targeted location on Bentley Road where “Slow Down In Our Town” signs were placed the length of the roadway along with a speed tracking trailer.
“This initiative is an excellent example of successful collaboration between concerned residents, the Monroe Township Police Department and Middlesex County Traffic Safety professionals,” said Mayor Tamburro. “We expect that this speed reduction initiative will encourage motorists driving through these areas to be more mindful and careful of the residents that share the roads.”
Organized by the Middlesex County Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program with support from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, the program will be implemented by the Monroe Township Police Department at various Township locations throughout 2019.
The goal of the campaign is to effectively reduce the speed of motorists traveling throughout the Township. Local law enforcement officers will coordinate with residents to strategically place “Slow Down In Our Town” signage as well as speed tracking trailers in targeted neighborhoods throughout the municipality. Signage will be placed on front lawns for a period of approximately one week with enhanced traffic enforcement to follow.
