Description
There needs to be strict enforcement of heavy class 8 trucks using Main St in Farmingdale, they use it as a cut through and it endangers everyone who lives and works there. Especially at the corner of Main and Southard Ave
Squankum-Yellowbrook (524A) is for trucks.
There also needs to be "No Engine Brake" signs heading into Farmingdale heading into town from Rt 195 and into town from Adelphia Rd.

No changes or enforcement of heavy trucks. It's actually gotten far worse.
The State Police have been busy handing out tickets to car drivers, and ticketing people at the crosswalks.

Someone's going to get killed with the way they fly into town. All it's going to take is one small child, or a pedestrian to walk out mistakenly.
Again, today, June 1, I witnessed the State Police stopping dozens of cars, but NO trucks.

So, will it take someone to die?
Yesterday, June 29, a 53' tractor trailer tried to take a right turn from Railroad Ave onto Main. It took down the railroad crossing gate stanchion and supports, and the truck blew 3 tires, amongst other damage. The guy tried to drive away. Luckily there was a State Police car nearby.
These trucks are still flying into town, using their excessively NOISY engine brakes.

Even more trucks than ever.
No signs for "no engine braking" anywhere to be seen going into farmingdale.
I truly feel sorry for people who live there. The noise, stink and danger is there almost constantly.

Agreed, that the town is very slow at doing such things.
I've worked in Farmingdale for over 20 years. I've seen no change as far as "downtown" improvements go, other than the pedestrian crossing signs. But then again, everyone jaywalks anyway. The few that cross at the crosswalks take their lives into their hands.
I don't see why the DOT can't put signs at 195/Allaire/524A with an arrow for "Freeway Warehouse ONLY" The same sign needs to be at 524 and 524A. Then a period of strict enforcement of the large dump trucks and other over sized trucks that barrel down Main St telling them where to go.
Doing so could be a cash cow both for Howell, and if they get to town, Farmingdale. Fine the snot out of the drivers/trucking companies that continue to use the wrong way.
Lastly Howell township needs to put signs up directing ALL truck traffic that comes down Yellowbrook Rd to 524, and send them all to Rt 33, where they belong, rather than on local streets and narrow back roads as they do now.
But I'll bet it never happens.

The sound of engine brakes rattling the windows and deafening people outside are still going on daily.

Where are the troopers to ticket and fine the crap out of these guys? I guess they'd rather entrap people at the cross walks and those doing .5 mph over the 25 limit.

Someone is going to get killed. These stupid trucks take up the entire main street when they make their right or left turns onto Southard Ave or Railroad Ave.
This needs to be stopped at once.
