3 Years, 22 Crashes: Montclair Intersection Gets New Stop Sign

MONTCLAIR, NJ — A temporary stop sign was recently installed at the intersection of North Willow Street and Claremont Avenue in Montclair.

The new sign is the last in a series of stop signs that have been installed along the busy corridor, which connects Montclair Center with Walnut Street business district.

The goal is to make it safer for pedestrians to walk in the area, according to the township.

The intersection has seen 22 crashes since October 2023, including five involving pedestrians or cyclists, and eight resulting in injuries, the township stated.

The current stop sign installation is temporary while Montclair awaits the installation of permanent signage by its contractor.
