Traffic is a concern for every Sayreville resident. With over six hundred miles of local roads, the Traffic Safety Bureau is responsible for addressing traffic congestion, conducting enforcement of motor vehicle laws, and investigating serious accidents. But this is only a small part of the responsibility of this unit.
When new construction is proposed, this unit is responsible for reviewing the site plans and conducting traffic surveys so that government planning officials have a clear idea of what impact new construction will have on our local roads. The Traffic Bureau also trains and manages our staff of School Crossing Guards.
Officers assigned to this unit receive specialized training in advanced accident reconstruction and investigation and provide training in defensive driving techniques, DUI detection and investigation, highway safety, and child safety restraint installation. They are frequently called upon to conduct targeted enforcement in areas of the Borough that are the subject of complaints by residents.
You can reach the Traffic Safety Bureau at 732-525-5431 or 732-525-5429 or 732-525-5430.
