Increases traffic threshold for local installation of certain speed humps on certain local streets without DOT approval.
This bill raises the daily vehicle traffic threshold for local governments to install certain speed humps without New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) approval from 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles per day. It specifically applies to two-lane residential streets, one-way residential streets, and streets within 500 feet of schools during road repairs - provided the speed hump has a flat top of at least 10 feet (like a speed table). Municipalities and counties can now install these traffic-calming measures on streets with posted speeds of 30 mph or less, without DOT consent, under these conditions. The bill does not affect installations on state roads (which still require DOT approval) or streets exceeding the traffic thresholds.
