The Town of Ramapo Highway Department is preparing to install a Traffic Light at the intersection of Maple and Howard Drive / Park Lane, Monsey Scoop is reporting. This intersection has been the scene of numerous serious car accidents and pedestrians struck by vehicles over the years.

Town Supervisor Michael Specht met with Highway Supervisor Fred Brinn to discuss plans to install a temporary traffic light at the busy intersection. This meeting and planning occurred after residents reached out to the Supervisor and Community Liaison Yossi Margaretten with concerns over vehicle and pedestrian safety.

Supervisor Specht visited the site and met with residents about this issue. The traffic light will be placed there now on a temporary basis to measure the effect on safety. Based on feedback- a final plan will be proposed and implemented to benefit the residents.

  1. Every driver in monsey should pay attention to the traffic light (instead of their phone or whatever else) so that when the light turns green they go. This will get more people through each green and there will be less congestion. As a result of less congestion, the roads will be safer.

  2. As I was driving on Maple Avenue tonight I met a driver who was obviously one of those without patience. I could tell by the way he stopped at the corner that he thought the world belonged to him and that he has the right to go first no matter the circumstances. I waited for him to go first, even though I had the right of way. I didn’t need to prove it with an accident. It’s a shame, but there are more and more drivers in Monsey like that these days. 20 years ago it was a pleasure to drive in Monsey. Today it’s a hassle and it’s dangerous.
