New 4-Way Stop at Orchard & Opossum
Montgomery Township would like to make the public aware of a new traffic pattern.
On Tuesday, October 8th, Montgomery Township established a four-way stop at the Orchard Road and Opossum Road intersection. There are new stop-signs, indicating ALL-WAY stopping, as well as other permanent signage and road markings to alert drivers of the new stop requirement on Orchard Road.
The Montgomery Township Committee approved the four-way stop at its September 19
th meeting.
The eastern side of the Orchard Road intersection is
closed to non-local traffic for three months due to
replacement by Somerset County of the small bridge near 88 Orchard Rd. During this bridge closure, the Orchard-Opossum intersection is experiencing less traffic than typical, which was seen as a good time to make this intersection change.
Drivers are reminded in an all-way intersection to come to a complete stop, wait for the other cars which have arrived before you, and then take your turn. Please drive patiently and with care. Thank you.
The next meeting of the Montgomery Township Committee will be held Thursday, October 17, 2019 at 7 PM at the Montgomery Twp. Municipal Building, 2261 Rt. 206, Belle Mead, NJ 08502, in the downstairs courtroom (use south side entrance). All members of the public are welcome to attend.
