This is a known practice by the police. I always tell my out of town friends not to make a right turn there on RED passing the solid white line.
My brother in law once got a ticket for making a right turn on RED from Half Acre Rd. to RT-130 South passing a car waiting to go straight. This happened before they added a left hand turn lane there. He called me to complain about it.

Can the TC ask the state or county for help?
If the township TC does not ask, who will listen?

Try the following page:
http://cranburytownship.org/contactus.html
I used it to send a query about township budget once and got a timely reply by email. You can do it from your computer. Give it a try.
I hope many people will raise this issue and get it on to the TC agenda someday.

Why start a new post instead or replying to the existing one on this issue?
