Mandatory Court Appearances for Targeted Roads in Aberdeen

You may want to hit the brakes while driving through Aberdeen Township, otherwise you might find yourself in municipal court.

The Township Council passed a resolution Tuesday night designating target enforcement zones on five roads throughout Aberdeen. Traffic violations documented on West Prospect Avenue, Cambridge Drive, Ivyhill Drive, Van Brackle Road and South Atlantic Avenue will now require a court appearance.

Effective immediately, Aberdeen Township Police will be monitoring speeds on these roads. According to the resolution, the purpose of the target enforcement areas is to emphasize safe driving on busy residential roads.

The resolution reads, "Concerned residents along these designated areas should be assured that their safety is important and traffic flow throughout their neighborhoods will be closely monitored."

According to Township Manager Holly Reycraft, the selected roads were chosen based on a recommendation from the police department.

Signs will be placed along these roads indicating that they have been designated a target enforcement area.
