PROJECT SUMMARY

We are raising $45,000 in community donations to complete funding for a much-needed traffic light and pedestrian crossing system at the intersection of Princeton Highlands Blvd and Route 27 in Franklin Township, NJ.

This location has been a safety concern for years — and now, after repeated accidents, serious injuries, and growing traffic volume, the project is officially approved and ready.

✔ NJDOT approval

✔ Franklin Township approval

✔ South Brunswick Township approval

✔ Construction eligibility confirmed

The only remaining barrier is the final funding gap of $45,000.

Your support turns approval into reality.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The Princeton Highlands Blvd & Route 27 intersection is used daily by:

Families and children

Senior residents

School traffic

Runners and cyclists

Pedestrians

Local employees and customers

Emergency responders

It has a long history of:

⚠️ vehicle crashes

⚠️ dangerous turns

⚠️ pedestrian exposure

⚠️ severe injuries

Drivers turning onto Route 27 face blind angles, fast traffic, and unpredictable flow. Pedestrians have no protected crossing path. Many avoid this intersection entirely — or take unsafe chances.

This traffic signal will:

✔ reduce crashes

✔ protect families

✔ lower injury risk

✔ improve pedestrian safety

✔ support emergency access

✔ calm traffic

✔ improve business access

OFFICIAL SUPPORT + APPROVALS

NJDOT’s Division of Traffic Engineering has reviewed the intersection and confirmed that a pedestrian-actuated signal meets safety criteria. The department has also outlined the funding participation structure.

Franklin Township and South Brunswick Township are aligned and approvals are already in place including Warrant Analysis that considered traffic volume, accidents, speed limit etc.

Most of the project cost is funded through:

NJDOT

Franklin Township

Partnering agencies

Other committed sources

We simply need to finish the last portion:

$45,000 from the community.
