Wall Residents Sound Off on Safety Issues

Wall, NJ- Summer’s nearly here, and with each walk in the park, day at the pool and backyard BBQ comes the risk of snakebites, drowning and fires, but don’t worry! There’s no reason to stay cooped up inside all season.

Patch put together a list of summer safety tips to keep you safe and having fun while the weather’s warm. Make sure to give snakes their distance and always swim with a buddy to stay carefree during the dog days.

Keeping these tips in mind, there are other possible dangers that affect Wall residents year round.

We asked Patch readers what they thought the biggest safety issues were in their town. Here’s a list of the most pressing problems, from break-ins to traffic jams:

• "Speeding in residential neighborhoods! When I'm at the bus stop with my daughter it amazes me how fast cars drive down Village Road. There are no side walks and many children live on the street. Slow down people!!"

• "Drugs! Big safety issue."

• "The intersection of Ramshorn and Atlantic Avenue in Allenwood."

• " Speeding on Monmouth Blvd."

• "Speeding on Belmar Blvd-particularly towards the parkway entrance."

• "The ramp getting off 34 onto 195 West."

• "The roads need maintenance and fresh painted lines."

• "Belmar Blvd. - no sidewalks very scary."

• "Speed limit should be lowered on Tiltons, especially when you have many pedestrians and children riding bikes (and no sidewalks)."

• "There should be a light getting out of Whole Foods by the Wendy's."
