For the residents of Rocky Hill, NJ, a borough of about 700 people, the struggle to maintain a small-town atmosphere in the face of regional growth is often measured in miles per hour. The latest front in this ongoing saga opened Thursday night, when Rocky Hill Council President Richard Novak traveled to a meeting of the Montgomery Township Committee to make a direct appeal for help. Novak, a consistent voice for traffic calming in the borough, sought the committee's support.

In an effort to prevent crashes before they occur, the Montgomery Township Police Department, in partnership with the New Jersey State Police, conducted an unannounced roadside truck inspection on August 12 on Route 601. It resulted in 19 inspections with 37 total violations. Of those inspections, 13 resulted in out-of-service violations, while seven involved weight violations.

Somerset County officials presented their preferred solution to the Griggstown Causeway traffic nightmare: Three traffic lights. The flooding issues were not addressed at public hearing and information session at the Somerset County Administration Building in Somerville on July 1.

Montgomery Township Police issued 72 traffic tickets during its recent pedestrian safety campaign.

Traffic is one of the biggest local challenges face. What happened and why did Montgomery Township traffic get so bad?
