4-foot passing signs go up around Mercer County

Have you seen this sign?

It’s a reminder to drivers to give 4 feet when passing people on the road — whether they are on bikes, running or walking.

It’s the law! (And if you can’t give 4 feet, slow down and wait until you can — also the law.)

78 of these signs are going up all over Mercer County thanks to a project spearheaded by the WWBPA.

We paid for signs on West Windsor and Mercer County roads in West Windsor while our partners — the Princeton Free Wheelers, Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association and Sourland Cycles — funded signs on Mercer County roads outside West Windsor. We all also suggested locations for the signs.

Installation is being handled by West Windsor Department of Public Works and the Mercer County Department of Transportation. We thank our government partners; it couldn’t have happened without their support.

Thanks also go to all our WWBPA members. Your annual membership donation made the signs in West Windsor possible.

Become a member for 2026 so we can continue to fund projects like this.

    I noticed a few of those signs today while I was delivering newspapers in Princeton. I hope other organizations throughout the state will be as effective as you.
