Description

On Route 23 North, just after the border for Kinnelon ends and W. Milford begins, between the entrance from Paterson Hamburg turnpike and the exit for Highcrest Drive, there is practically no warning that there is a left hand U-Turn coming up for the first U-Turn in W. Milford. There are only signs that say "School bus stop" and "welcome to W. Milford" and "Sharp Turn". The next several U-Turns are all in the left lane and they have ample signs indicating such, but for that first turn, there is only a small sign on the turnoff ramp itself. Many times, cars have swerved across lanes of traffic to take the U-Turn. I see this happen at least twice a week on my commute. If budget concerns are an issue, why not take one of the 6 (yes 6!) signs that are posted for the next turn and move one down to that first turn? There needs to be more warning to drivers that there is an upcoming U-Turn on the left hand side, especially since it is the first left U-Turn on Rt 23 N in that stretch. It is a deadly hazard and absolutely must be fixed!
