Traffic Safety Bureau

The safe and efficient flow of traffic has long been a concern in Hillsborough Township. Rt. 206, as well as the Somerset County roadways, carry high volume traffic within Hillsborough. In addition, there are approximately 250 miles of lower volume municipal roadways.

The Traffic Safety Bureau regularly monitors and surveys roadway and traffic conditions. It also responds to citizen complaints of traffic concerns such as frequent speeding on a particular roadway or the need for traffic calming devices. To multiply its effectiveness, the Traffic Safety Bureau utilizes various mechanical resources such as:

Variable Message Boards

Outreach contacts include; visiting preschools, career days, tours of headquarters and spending time with special needs community members.
