Monmouth County Exploring Safety Improvements to Lloyd Road In Response to Request from Aberdeen Council

Monmouth County is soliciting professional qualifications for professional engineering services for the preliminary design of safety improvements to Lloyd Road (CR 3) from Reid’s Hill Road to Church Street in Aberdeen Township.

The improvements are being planned as a result of the Aberdeen Township Council’s outreach to the County, asking them to develop a plan to alleviate traffic problems on the busy stretch of road which is home to Lloyd Road Elementary School and the Aberdeen Township Hose & Chemical Company.

“Parents of Lloyd Road students came to us and asked what could be done to make Lloyd Road safer for their children, many of whom walk to school,” said Aberdeen Township Mayor Fred Tagliarini.

Among the improvements being considered are a modification to the intersection of Ivy Hill Drive and the Lloyd Road Elementary school entrance to create a standard four-legged intersection; improvements to the overall safety of the corridor for pedestrians and bicyclists; and an evaluation of the Lloyd Road traffic signals at Cambridge Drive and Church Street for level of service and compliance with current MUTCD and Monmouth County design standards.
