Headed To Kohl's In Brick? Police Show You How To Avoid Traffic

BRICK, NJ — If you've ever cringed at the thought of getting stuck in the long line of cars waiting to pull into the ShopRite shopping center from Chambers Bridge Road, Brick Township police have a suggestion for you: Try the other entrance.

In a video posted to the department's Facebook page, Sgt. Jim Kelly and Sgt. Keith Donnelly take viewers on a trip around the area, showing off the shopping center's access driveways.

Traffic backs up on Chambers Bridge Road as motorists try to turn left into the shopping center, causing other traffic issues, especially during the Christmas holiday shopping season.

In the video, which lasts just over 3 minutes, Kelly and Donnelly bypass turning onto Chambers Bridge Road, instead continuing west on Route 70, to go into the shopping center at the far west end, by Kirkland's.

In addition to the Route 70 entrance, drivers who are on Chambers Bridge Road can avoid the left-turn jam by using the jughandle at Ovation Way, near the post office. Ovation Way gives access to the shopping center near the apartment complex behind the post office.

"A lot of people don't know about those two ways," Kelly said. "And that left turn is a nightmare."
