The City of Hoboken today announced the installation of new multi-way stop signs at five key intersections near highly trafficked areas as part of the City’s ongoing Vision Zero initiative to eliminate all traffic-related deaths and injuries by 2030.
The multi-way stop signs are located at the following intersections:
These locations, approved in partnership with the County, are in close proximity to significant community hubs frequented by vulnerable road users like children and senior citizens, including Church Square Park, Hoboken Middle School, Brandt Elementary School, and an NJ Transit bus stop.
Additionally, the City recently installed multi-way stop signs at the intersections of Third and Grand Streets, Fourth and Grand Streets, and Eighth and Grand Streets.
“The safety of our community, especially our most vulnerable road users, is my top priority,” said Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla. “These new multi-way stop signs will significantly improve pedestrian safety and visibility to ensure better crossings, especially near our parks and schools, in support of our Vision Zero goals. We remain committed to making our streets safer and more accessible for all modes of transportation.”
The new signs are complemented by additional Vision Zero safety improvements, including refreshed striping and daylighting.
