Sorry, but, New Jersians drive like THEY own the road. I have seen so many morons who would rather ram into you full speed than slow down a few MPHs.
They speed up, and hold their hamfists on the horn until they blow past you doing 90!
Don't expect any miracles.

Sadly with all of the cutbacks one of things that we will have to come
to terms with is that it will not be possible to enforce and prosecute many traffic violations such as speeding on Main Street and crosswalk violators. Perhaps the emphasis should be on pedestrians being more vigilant.

Whose going to enforce it. The cop crossing school kids or the cop answering calls in the township. Maybe the crossing guards can help.

Sounds good, but it may be a bad omen that the law begins on April Fool's Day.

New Jersey motorists will face steeper fines if they don't stop for pedestrians, beginning April 1. An updated law requires motorists to stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in a crosswalk. Currently, the law only requires that motorists yield or slow for pedestrians.
