BERKELEY – A traffic signal was installed at the intersection of Hickory Lane and Route 9 but officials were still unsure when it will go live.
At a recent Township Council meeting, elected officials said they were in the dark about when it would light up, despite reaching out to the state. Because Route 9 is a state road, they are in charge of any changes at the intersection.
The Berkeley Times reached out to the New Jersey Department of Transportation, which responded that it will be turned on at some point in the summer of 2025.
During certain times of the day, making a left onto Route 9 north is dangerous. Drivers often wait a long time, and then get impatient and take a chance when there is a small break in traffic from the northbound and southbound lanes.
