Speed Enforcement to Move to White Oak Ridge

If you drive faster than 35 miles per hour on White Oak Ridge Road, you might get a speeding ticket.

Millburn police have taken the first step in their new speed enforcement program by placing an electronic sign on the road to warn drivers to slow down. The speed limit on most of White Oak Ridge Road is 35 miles per hour.

The sign states "Consider This Your Warning" before switching to post the speed limit. The sign is in the northbound lanes just north of Parsonage Hill Road. It also posts the speed of traffic traveling north. One car registered 45 miles per hour as it passed.

White Oak Ridge Road would be the third location for the Millburn Police Department's speed enforcement program. Police previously have issued speeding tickets on Hobart Avenue and, currently, Old Short Hills Road.

The program is in response to speeding concerns from residents. When a complaint of speeding is registered with police, they measure the amount of traffic and how fast it is going. Then they place the electronic sign with a message to slow down. And finally police will be out ticketing speeders.
