Middlesex County officials gathered on June 5, 2025, at the Iselin Intersection to announce significant safety improvements aimed at enhancing pedestrian and vehicular safety. The meeting highlighted the county's commitment to the Vision Zero campaign, which seeks to eliminate traffic fatalities and injuries.

Key improvements at the intersection include the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps, updated crosswalks, and enhanced visible and audible signage. These changes are part of a broader initiative by the Woodbridge Police Department to combat distracted driving and ensure safer crossings for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.

Commissioner Charlie Kenny, who chairs the County Transportation Committee, emphasized the importance of these upgrades, stating that they will make the intersection safer and more accessible for everyone. He noted that while the improvements may seem minor compared to larger infrastructure projects, they are crucial in addressing the rising number of serious traffic accidents in the area.

The meeting also acknowledged the collaborative efforts of local officials, including Mayor McCormick and Councilman Viru Patel, as well as the contributions of the Woodbridge Police Department. The officials expressed gratitude to the community for their patience during the construction process.

In addition to the Iselin Intersection upgrades, Middlesex County is implementing similar improvements at other key intersections throughout the region. The county is utilizing technology and data to better understand traffic patterns and driver behavior, aiming to prevent accidents and enhance overall road safety.

The Vision Zero initiative continues to drive Middlesex County's efforts to create safer roadways, with officials confident in their ability to achieve the goal of zero fatalities.
