Joint Letter Thanks West Windsor Police For Tireless Efforts Since Closing of Jughandles

To the Editor:

We would like to thank the West Windsor Police for their tireless efforts on behalf of Penns Neck residents since the closure of the jug handle at Route 1 and Washington Road. The police re-direct confused motorists and ticket those who blatantly disregard the No U-Turn signs and place themselves and other drivers at risk. Always courteous and helpful, the police are present not only during the morning rush hour but also in the evening and on the weekend when there are major events that draw many people into the Princeton area. The 2 percent cap on municipal governments limits the police presence, but when the police are in our neighborhood, driving is safer. We have had a sharp spike in accidents on Washington Road since the jug handles were closed, but the West Windsor police have certainly prevented additional accidents.
