, and the New Jersey State Police and the Department of Transportation are already planning for a busy season. . Crews showed CBS2 how they would flip the direction of traffic away from the water in the event of a hurricane.
"All the eastbound lanes become westbound with that. It's intricate. You have to close down ramps, driveways, intersections. We have to kind of take control of the whole road," NJ DOT Senior Director of Operations Chris Feinthel.The DOT is working with state police and the turnpike authority at 50 locations across the state. The traffic concept is called a"contraflow," which you may have seen from above during major hurricanes.
The most important aspect of the exercise is to make sure cars aren't entrapped, which is why crews work work systematically, placing down cones, to make sure traffic moves smoothly in the event of an emergency. "It could be a life or death thing of evacuating the beaches and we have to do it quickly," Feinthel said.
