New Traffic Pattern At Basking Ridge Intersection

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — A new traffic pattern will be implemented Wednesday at the intersection of Spring Valley Boulevard and Acken Road in Basking Ridge.

Once the implementation is complete, going forward traffic will be required to stop on Acken Road at Spring Valley Boulevard. And traffic on Spring Valley Boulevard will no longer be required to stop at Acken Road but must slow down for the speed humps, according the Bernards Township.

Drivers are advised to use caution while traveling through the intersection and be mindful of the signs, speed humps, cones and other traffic control devices.

This change is part of the township's Traffic Calming Project, which was proposed in August, to improve safety at the intersection.

A total of about 5,000 cars go through this intersection every day. Since 2012, there have been 10 accidents at the intersection, including four roll-over accidents with injuries, according to Bernards Township Engineer Tom Timko
