Road Conditions: Snow has begun to accumilate on all roadways within the Township. Please refrain from traveling, as the rate of snow is expected to increase as the day progresses. NJDOT, Middlesex County DOT, and Cranbury Township DPW crews are all working to address the roadways within the Township.
Travel Restrictions: The NJDOT has issued an Emergency Traffic Regulation Order that temporarily lowers all posted speed limits to 35-MPH on Interstate and State highways in New Jersey starting at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, January 25, until further notice.
The speed limit reduction applies to:
• All Interstate highways in New Jersey
• All U.S. and State highways in New Jersey
• The New Jersey Turnpike

In order for NJDOT, County and local transportation partners to safely and efficiently clear roadways of snow, motorists should avoid driving unless you are an essential employee needed for emergency response.
If you must drive, motorists are advised to:
• SLOW DOWN
• Always STAY CLEAR of plowing and spreading trucks. If they are behind you, let them pass
• DO NOT pass between trucks that are in a plow formation
• Leave early and allow extra time
• Leave a safe following distance between vehicles
• Use caution on bridges and ramps
• If you are driving and road conditions deteriorate, PULL OFF somewhere safe and wait it out
• Be patient and use caution
• Keep an emergency kit in your car with a cell phone charger, water, snacks, blanket, and other items. See the NJ Office of Emergency Managements web site for more information: http://ready.nj.gov/plan-prepare/winter.shtml
