Not long ago a turn arrow light and delayed green were added (good call). However, the right lane was left alone as "Straight or Right turn Only" and the left is "Left Turn Only." Cars going straight would wait no longer than currently if the left lane was "Straight and Left Only." This would allow cars in right lane (Should be "Right Turn Only") to make a right on red when traffic is slow or non-existent on Rte 10. The photo shows a typical scene where Right lane backs up with long lines because there is a car waiting to go straight. I honestly believe this was an oversight not to change this when the light was changed. Just makes good sense and helps traffic flow to change.

Thank You for your comment.
If you have a shared left and through lane, the state would have to elimiate the left turn signal arrow. Left Arrow can only be used with a dedicated left turn lane. Change would require alot of other changes that would have a negative impact on the left turns from Canfield Avenue.

This signal is under the state jurisidction but it my understanding that they are going to widen NB Canfield Avenue to include a left turn lane. Once that is complete, the timing will change as required. This was a interim change, for safety reasons. Left turning vehicles were involved in majority of the crashes at the intersection.
You can reach out to NJDOT with you concerns. Sorry I can't be more help. Township may have more information as NB Canfield is under their jurisidction.
