Seeing daily safety issues since addition of turning lane. Also, High School age drivers using No Bay as a speedway after School gets released daily. Please consider returning to pre-turning lane design.

As an avid cycist and long distance runner, North Bay used to be a reasonably safe route for training. There is now NO room for error; by cyclist, jogger, or motorist...and now driving means doing a slalom run to avoid man hole covers that can only adversely impact on wheel alignment. Bring back the former lane configuration and enforce a reduced speed limit.

I did not know North Bay was a county road, I thought it was "Toms River" municipal roadway; in any event, since the "turning ;lanes have been installed I find driving there too dangerous and nerve wracking; I now divert my driving to New Hampshire/Old Freehold Roads taking me further from my home adding adding more time to my travel.

I jog on the road in the early morning and it can be really challenging to stay safe without anywhere to move to as cars fly down the road.

Road is now dangerous and already unskilled drivers now use the suicide lane as a passing lane!

These center turn lanes are so dangerous. The shoulder on Bay ave is now 2 feet wide, and no sidewalks, anyone walking is at risk. Also, every 50 feet your car hits a dip in the road from a storm drain Half of North Bay is woods, protected land, no one is making a left into the woods! They need to get rid of these "suicide lanes" altogether.

I live on North Bay Ave, heck it’s even dangerous to get the mail out of my mailbox. Please reconsider, this change is just aweful. I used to be able to jog up and down. No longer am I allowed unless I’m looking to die

We can no longer walk on Northbay after the township foolishly removed the curbs. What township or county makes roads less safe?

I occasionally use North Bay to walk, it was always safe until they made horrible changes. The turning lane is only necessary for a small percentage of users. The worst case it could be certain spots but not the whole road.

I live nearby and I frequent this area for recreational purposes. These changes are very dangerous for us.

So many people in community are scared to even walk dogs, ride bikes' take out trash, retrieve their mail or go for avrefreshing walk. Why is that fair? Where is the concern for our community?? Please reverse the lanes to the way it was and be considerate of our safety and we'll being!!!

We walk our dog daily and it is dangerous for us and our dog. In addition, just trying to put your trash cans out is sketchy and I’ve jumped out of the way of cars on numerous occasions.

Yes it’s senseless to have those middle turning lanes. Change it back.

As a resident living off of north bay Ave I have witnessed just how dangerous this change has been…would love to see it changed.
