"Millstone's most dangerous roadways", Examiner, 10/25/07:

a number of dangerous intersections, including the one at Stillhouse Road and County Route 524, ... a June accident that claimed the life of a passenger in Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith's sport utility vehicle.

to discuss the five-road intersection at Scooters Corner [...] some motorists do not know what to do where Paint Island Spring, Stagecoach and Millstone roads intersect.

Millstone Road is a shortcut for motorists between 195 and the NJTP, frequented by uninitiated out-of-towners.

Visibility could be improved if the bushes on the south side of Stagecoach just before the intersection were cut back. It also might be better if 571 stuck with 526 a little longer, rather than go through Scooters Corner.

improvements to Millstone Road from Baird Road to Route 33 continue

for work on Baird Road from Millstone Road to Stillhouse Road

Repairs to the stretch of Baird Road from Stillhouse Road to Woodville Road will commence once the county makes repairs to its bridge on Baird Road near the new middle school

the section of Baird Road in front of the new middle school has deteriorated since use of the road intensified when the new school opened in September.

I so can't believe that Baird Road in front of the new middle school wasn't built up and widened prior to the school's opening. I was so looking forward to a better road there. The bridge is essentially one lane, especially given the bewilderingly high volume of delivery and construction vehicles there.

the county should replace the four-way stop sign at the Sweetmans Lane/Woodville Road intersection with a traffic signal.

This change will not be welcome. The thing about four-way stops in NJ is that most people seem to think that, so long as they let someone else go ahead of them, they are free to go next! Most people here have no patience for four-way stops.

Pat Butch, who owns Bright Meadows Farm on Prodelin Way, said she would like the speed limit on Prodelin Way lowered from 50 mph to 35 mph.

Butch told the committee that another accident on her road last week downed a telephone pole and left smoking wires in the trees. According to Butch, drivers speed "like crazy" on the road ...

Butch said there is a problem with drivers hitting the curve in the road at 50 mph and not being able to negotiate it.

The problem with Prodelin is that the speed limit is not posted anywhere on the road! Rather, those new HAMT signs are plainly visible near Pat's farm, perhaps confusing drivers into thinking the speed limit is 25 mph. Drivers will pass anyone doing 40 and under on that road, I know from experience. Post some speed limit signs.

the redesign at Exit 8 in Hightstown would bring motorists off the turnpike and directly on to Route 133 instead of on to Route 33.

a realignment of Milford Road so that it would no longer connect to Route 33 where it meets with Route 133.

Must wait and see how this works out but Milford Road to Route 133 is my preferred way to reach studies in Plainsboro and Princeton. I appreciate that Exit 8 to Route 33 leads nowhere ... but that's just so fitting I can't see messing with it.
