Does Wayne Have Too Many Red Lights?

If you’re frustrated with the red light situation in Wayne, you are in good company.

While stop lights are one of the necessary evils of commuting, they don’t guarantee safety for pedestrians or cooperation from drivers.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, red-light running is the number one cause of urban crashes. Furthermore in 2013, approximately 127,000 people were injured in red-light related accidents.

In August 2015, the National Coalition for Safer Roads released an interactive safety map that would allow users to see the number of red-light running deaths in their area as part of the group’s ‘Stop on Red’ initiative.

At Patch, we appreciate that our readers and motorists know the stop lights in Wayne best. We asked you on Facebook how you felt about the red lights in our area. Could Wayne use more red lights? Are there too many? What intersections need a stop light, or can get rid of one?

Here’s what readers said on social media:

• Like they don't have enough. Get rid of half of them!

• Way way too many...how about Alps and Valley

• Way too many. The turn around by Packanack Lake Road needs two lanes!

• Too many

Is there a red light in Wayne you can’t stand? Is there an intersection that could desperately use a red light? Let us know on Facebook.
