County to adjust signal timing after West Long Branch reports Oakwood Avenue left-turn problems
Summary
Councilman Penta said the county told him the gap between the Myrtle Avenue and Oceanport Avenue signals is too short and that the county intends to correct signal timing to reduce congestion and improve left turns onto Broadway from Oakwood Avenue.
Councilman Penta reported to the West Long Branch caucus that residents and drivers have difficulty making a left turn onto Broadway from Oakwood Avenue following reconstruction. "Councilman Penta reported that he also wrote to the county regarding the reconstruction of Oakwood Avenue and the difficulty of making a left turn onto Broadway from Oakwood Ave; the county responded that the timing gap between the Myrtle Ave traffic light and the Oceanport Avenue light is too short and is contributing to the congestion and they plan to correct the signal timing," he said.
Councilman Cioffi suggested adding a 'don't block the box' road marking on Broadway as a local traffic-management measure to complement any timing adjustments the county implements. No specific timeline or county contact was recorded in caucus beyond the county's commitment to correct timing.
