Should it be implemented at the study location we recommend that a minimum of 8 feet tall, 24- inch-wide bars 4 feet on center, white thermoplastic crossing be installed. FIGURE 5 – International Pattern Crosswalks Update Striping– We recommend that the Township of West Orange consider restriping faded markings to better define the lanes and to encourage motorists to travel at lower speeds and prevent crashes. The striping of road markings will allow the motorists to see the lanes carefully and follow the signs presence better. This treatment will improve the sight distance, pedestrian safety and prohibit parking along the intersection. Update Signage – We recommend the Township of West Orange consider replace and update all signs to meet current MUTCD standards. Ensuring that signage meets current regulations will improve visibility and enhance road safety for motorists. Speed Limit Signs - We recommend the Township of West Orange consider the installation of additional speed limit signs along Dartmouth Road & Forest Hill Road. We observed that minimal to no speed limits signs are posted along Dartmouth Road & Forest Hill Road. Additional Improvements We recommend that the following proposed improvements be considered to improve the overall safety and quality of the roadway for both pedestrians and motorists in the area: • Enhance the landscape of streets by maintaining the curb and sidewalk paths; and • Install additional lighting at the intersection.
