Montclair State University may be relieved of its obligations to further attempt to coordinate traffic improvement plans on an adjacent access road with neighboring Clifton Township and Passaic County, a New Jersey appeals court ruled Wednesday.

In a published opinion, a three-judge Appellate Division panel said the university has likely lived up to its obligations to the township and the county in its efforts to install traffic controls on Valley Road in Clifton, which runs alongside the university and provides several access points to the campus.
