Speed Limit Lowered On Dangerous Part Of Moorestown Road

MOORESTOWN, NJ — The speed limit on a dangerous part of Golf View Road will soon drop by 10 mph following a vote by Moorestown Council Monday night.

Moorestown Council unanimously approved a proposed ordinance on second reading to lower the speed limit Golf View Road to 15 mph between East Maple Avenue and Park Drive. The current speed limit is 25 mph.

Moorestown Police Chief Lee Lieber made the recommendation in response to a dangerous “S” curve on the road where there is no shoulder, making it dangerous for vehicles to safely maintain their travel lane and share the road with pedestrians and bicyclists.

Council discussed the issue at the last several public meetings. On Aug. 10, council discussed possibly making it a one-way street.

That suggestion was met with pushback from residents who were concerned about the speed on that road. Read more here: Moorestown Council Discusses 1-Way Option On Golf View Road
