These Barnegat Roads Have A New Traffic Pattern

BARNEGAT, NJ — Drivers can expect a different traffic pattern along Barnegat roads as of April 15.

Ocean County Engineering has changed the traffic light timing along West Bay Avenue, Lighthouse Drive and Barnegat Boulevard North as part of a signal optimization project, Barnegat police said.

Additionally, a "left turn on green arrow only" restriction will be implemented on West Bay Avenue at Sandpiper Road, based on police data, officials said.

"The purpose of these revisions is to ultimately decrease motor vehicle accidents while also reducing rush hour traffic in these areas," police said.

Drivers are asked to be mindful of these updates and to allow extra time driving while traveling these roadways during the revision process.
