City council updates traffic regulations and adds new stop signs across neighborhoods

The Northvale Mayor and Council meeting on May 14, 2025, focused on important updates to local traffic regulations and parking policies. Key changes were discussed to enhance safety and improve traffic flow in the community.

One significant change involves the removal of a no-left-turn sign at the former location of Valley National Bank, which is no longer in operation. This adjustment reflects the need to keep traffic signage relevant and accurate.

Additionally, several new stop signs will be installed to improve safety at critical intersections. New stop signs will be placed at Francis Lane and Clinton Avenue, as well as at Paulsing Avenue, West Avenue, and Veterans Drive at Rockwell Avenue. These additions aim to reduce accidents and enhance pedestrian safety in these areas.

Parking regulations will also see modifications. No parking will be enforced on the north side of White and Grace Avenues at all hours. Furthermore, the language regarding reserved parking will be updated to clarify that parking in these areas will be permitted at the discretion of the chief of police or an acting officer in their absence.

These changes are part of ongoing efforts by the Northvale Council to ensure the safety and well-being of residents and visitors. The council will continue to monitor traffic patterns and make adjustments as necessary to maintain a safe community.
