As a special interest group, WJW is being asked to consider signing a petition started by local residents to reduce the speed limit at Rileyville Road in Hopewell.

Rileyville Road starts at Hopewell, climbs up into the Sourlands, past Mountain Rd and Ridge Rd and connects to Wertsville Rd.

"As residents, we have become increasingly concerned with the speed at which personal vehicles and heavy commercial trucks travel this route."

The link to the petition and rationale is here.

Essentially, the petition would be a request to re-evaluate the speed limit on this road. Perhaps, the solution will be to remind drivers to stay within the posted speed limit via police presence or an electronic sign. 

This post is to inform club members of the petition and make it easy to add your name.
