Vision Zero New Jersey Alliance

In the 75 days since the speed camera at 10540 S Western Ave was installed in late May, it's issued a mind-boggling 59,152 tickets. That's over 46 an hour! The peak was on 6/9, when it caught 1352 speeders. Or 1.3 a minute. But what do you expect when the road looks like this?

Pedestrian areas and complete streets are important to any municipality. Our admin built the Newark Ave pedestrian plaza which has been a huge success. The Homestead is going to be our second large pedestrian plaza (similar to Newark Ave) - located near Journal Square. It will also span several blocks as part of the development approvals.

New Jersey is the country’s most densely populated state and among our nation’s most traveled. Continued efforts to evaluate traffic safety and transportation system designs with the goal of reducing crashes must be a top priority for our state. senatordiegnancom.wordpress.com/2022/09/30/sen…

"[T]he 21-member task force would study and issue recommendations on how to make driving, walking, and biking safer, with the ultimate goal of bringing the number of traffic fatalities in the state to zero by 2035." @TheNJGlobe newjerseyglobe.com/legislature/se…
