A week ago I called West Windsor police to ask if they had traffic cameras at this intersection. Unfortunately, they don’t. It was the second time in a few months that I was almost run over on my bicycle while crossing Rt. 1 when a loaded 40 ton dump truck ran a completely red light (I had a green). It may be time for a bit of red light enforcement at that intersection.
