LONG VALLEY, NJ — Drivers in Long Valley will encounter a new traffic pattern beginning next week as officials prepare to install a four-way stop at the intersection of Old Farmers and East Valley Brook roads.
Beginning Tuesday, motorists approaching the intersection from all four directions will be required to come to a complete stop before proceeding when it is safe to do so.
The change is intended to improve traffic control and safety at the intersection, according to township police.
The Washington Township Police Department said officers will have an increased presence around the intersection during the initial implementation period as drivers become accustomed to the new stop signs.
"Please slow down, pay attention, and use caution when traveling through the intersection," police said.
