Every single year, there are 5-10 fatal car accidents, 50-70 severe accidents and close to 200 accidents on the two lane, unlighted road, which is the main artery between Philadelphia / Western New Jersey and the Jersey Shore. This road has been virtually unchanged since the 1930s so is inappropriate for use in 2012.
Visit this google map to get an idea of the accident clusters from 2010 to present.
However, the creation of Safe Corridors along Rt 70 has not made it into the New Jersey Transportation Investment Candidates for a Federal Transportation Infrastructure Stimulus Package “wish list” or the Draft FY 2013 Transportation Capital Program New Jersey Department of Transportation Projects. Safe Corridors will widen the roads, put up barriers, double traffic fines, educate the public and install solar powered street lights.
Sign this petition today, and urge your friends to, in order to find a sustainable solution to make Rt 70 safe.

I spent the entire morning staring at that map of accident clusters again (it still makes my stomach turn honestly) while drafting a long email to the department of transportation because waiting for them to acknowledge the obvious danger is driving me a little bit crazy. People keep messaging me their own horrible stories about driving this road at night and it really proves that we are not imagining how hazardous this has become.

My petition is in honor of the late Tina Rambo and her beloved family and friends who are working to save lives after losing her. More importantly, I am requesting this in the effort that her life [and loss of] was not in vain.
Used to live in Medford and always hated taking this road to the shore. Way too many close calls. Should have been fixed years ago.
I drive rt 70 every day for work and it is a nightmare. People drive like maniacs and it is way to dark at night. Fix this before someone else gets killed.
THIS ROAD IS A DEATH TRAP.
My son goes to school down this way and I worry every time he leaves the house. Please do something state of nj!!

My wife and 3 kids travel this road almost every weekend to visit family. We travel from Medford to Toms River and I don't understand how such a well traveled road in the state of NJ has never been widen.
