and Green Brook Rd. but with the recommendation that the red signal be at Green Brook Rd. and the amber facing Washington Ave. Would Reverse Lights The Committee has long been seeking installation of such a signal but wants the amber facing Green Brook Rd. and the red on Washington Ave.

The state traffic investigator recommended in his survey report that Washington Ave. be made a through street and Green Brook Rd. a stop street with the idea that there would be less traffic hazards that way. At present Washington Ave. is a stop street at the intersection.

The investigator indicated there were more than three times as many cars passing along Washington Ave. than Green Brook Rd. The Committee had written several letters to the state department asking for results of the survey. The investigator also advised that if Washington Ave. were made a through street a patrolman should be stationed at the intersection to protect school children, and also that a semi-actuated pedestrian push button be installed on the signal.

Many township residents have complained about the intersection, stating it is hazardous for children and traffic trying to cross. The Committee indicated it was not pleased by the recommendations remarking that if the stop signs were reversed pedestrians and TEL PLFD. 6-1901!
