Public Announcement – County Route 539 Motor Vehicle Enforcement Details – Lacey Township Police Department – Wednesday, July 29, 2015
Rt. 539 Enforcement Details - Due to the recent increase in serious motor vehicle crashes on Rt. 539, the Lacey Township Police Department has been conducting directed motor vehicle enforcement details in cooperation with the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office and our neighboring law enforcement partners. A five-mile stretch of Rt. 539 (Mile Post 15.91 to 20.85) runs through the western most portion of Lacey Township near Burlington County. The roadway has a single lane in each direction with a very small paved shoulder area. With violators exceeding the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit and aggressively passing slower vehicles, there is significant danger posed to others, as there is no room for error since the dirt portion of the shoulder of the roadway is mostly very soft and loose sand. The crashes on Rt. 539 tend to be very serious and result in serious injury, and in too many cases, fatalities. The traveling public should be aware that the motor vehicle laws will be strictly enforced on Rt. 539 in Lacey Township, as the police department will continue to run special details to mitigate the hazardous conditions created by reckless driving on the county road. Likewise, the other police agencies that patrol Rt. 539 in Ocean [...]
