MIDDLE TOWNSHIP – Mayor Chris Leusner and Township Committee praised the Cape May County Board of Commissioners for final passage of a resolution modifying the posted speed limits on County Road 615, Goshen Road. The major artery runs north to south through the northwest section of the township. 

The committee made an official request to the county for the speed limit modifications in 2023, following a road safety study completed in conjunction with road and drainage improvements on Goshen Road.

“We are happy to see the latest phase of the long-awaited road and drainage improvements on Goshen Road nearing completion,” Leusner said. “The revisions to the posted speed limits are based on a comprehensive study and intended to ensure safe operations on this important road for both commercial and residential traffic.”

The speed limits for both directions along Goshen Road have been modified as follows:

Zone 1:  25 mph from Mechanic Street to Johnson Lane.

Zone 2: 35 mph from Johnson Lane to Tickneck Road.

Zone 3:  45 mph from Tickneck Road north for 4,300 linear feet to the southerly approach to the Bidwell’s Branch Culvert.

Zone 4:  35 mph from the south approach of Bidwell’s Branch to William Street.

Zone 5:  25 mph from William Street to Route 47.

Regulatory and warning signs will be erected and maintained for the revised speed limits.
