Township Council Meeting — Packet

All-Way Stop Warrant Analysis Dartmouth Road & Forest Hill Road Project No.: 251404 November 7, 2025 Page 14 of 14 • It is our recommendation that the Township consider implementing an international crosswalk pattern throughout all of its pedestrian crossings. This striping pattern should be comprised of white 24” thick bars, set 4’ on center, and no less than 8’ wide. We recommend an 8’ wide crosswalk for this area where school crossing signs are present. This pattern provides greater visibility for both pedestrians and motorists who approach the facility, greater painted surface area provides greater reflectivity during nighttime lighting conditions, and due to how the pattern is laid out it may require less upkeep costs for the Township due to reduced wear and tear. • We recommend the Township of West Orange consider refreshing the striping along Dartmouth Road & Forest Hill Road to give motorists better travel lane definition. All striping should be implemented per the guidance presented within the MUTCD; • We recommend the Township of West consider replacing older and faded signs along Dartmouth Road & Forest Hill Road with MUTCD compliant signs with newer retroreflective materials for improved visibility; • We recommend the Township of West Orange consider implementing additional speed limit signs throughout Dartmouth Road & Forest Hill Road. • Based upon our analysis, it is our engineering judgement that the implementation of an All Way STOP control will improve operation and safety for all travel modes at the intersection.
