Council targets a troublesome Pascack Road cutout with no-stopping/standing rule
Summary
Following resident complaints about vehicles stopping in a carve-out area on Pascack Road that impede turning movements, council members asked staff to draft a limited no-stopping/standing amendment for that specific cutout rather than the entire county road.
A council member raised resident complaints about vehicles stopping in a carve-out (cutout) area on Pascack Road, which has created hazards for motorists trying to turn northbound from Northgate. The council discussed whether to prohibit stopping and standing along the entire length of Pascack Road — a county road — or to limit the restriction to the specific problematic carve-out.
County staff told council the county defers enforcement and signage to the municipality for the township’s county roads. After discussing impacts on delivery and landscaping vehicles, the council agreed to limit the change to the specific cutout section where the problem has been reported and asked traffic staff to draft precise language and limits for the ordinance amendment.
Staff said they would return with clear descriptions of the cutout segment and suggested signage for council approval.
