“We are hoping drivers will quickly adapt to these adjustments,” Mayor James Rotundo said.

Changes have been made to:

• Hillside Avenue southbound from West Edsall Boulevard to Brinkerhoff Avenue;

• Highland Avenue northbound from West Central Avenue to East Edsall Boulevard;

• East and West Washington Place and southbound on Lincoln Street for the entire lengths of the roads;

• First Street north of East Palisades Boulevard heading northbound;

• East Homestead Avenue eastbound from Roff Rd. to Glen Rd;

• Morningside Lane southbound from Hillcrest Avenue to the terminus;

• Roff Avenue southbound from East Columbia Avenue to the borough border.

More roads could be added, Rotundo said.

"I came across one the other day -- I wanted to turn," resident Ann Meyers said. "It must have been muscle memory. You can't go down that way."
