When calling 911, Remember to stay calm, the 9.1.1. operator is there to help. Follow any instructions the 911 operator gives you.

Wireless phones don't always automatically provide 9-1-1 call-takers with all the information they need. That's why, it's important to remember when calling 9-1-1 using a wireless phone, to give your location, nature of emergency, who is involved, and a phone number.

We also suggest that you be aware of your surroundings. Look for landmarks. And, when driving, pull over to a safe place, and then provide as much information to the 9-1-1 dispatcher as possible.

  YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS IN THE CROSSWALKS! 

It's The Law!

State law requires that motorists must always yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk. A driver is guilty of a motor vehicle offense if he fails to give right-of-way to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk, or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection. Any driver who passes a vehicle stopped to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway is also guilty of this offense. It is also an offense to fail to give the right of way to any pedestrian caught in a marked or unmarked crosswalk when the signal changes

Ride your bicycle with the flow of Traffic,
Not against it!  Obey all of the same traffic laws as a motor vehicle!

New Jersey law stipulates: "anyone under 17 years of age that rides a bicycle or is a passenger on a bicycle...must wear a safety helmet." and "a bicyclist must obey all state and local automobile driving laws. A parent may be held responsible for the child's violation of any traffic law." and " Initial violators of the helmet law will receive warnings. For minors, the parent or legal guardian may be fined a maximum of $25 for the 1st offense and a maximum of $100 for subsequent offense(s), if lack of parental supervision contributed to the offense."

When ridden on any roadway a bicycle rider has all of the rights and responsibilities of any vehicle. Unless bicycles are specifically excepted, all traffic laws and rules apply to bicycles. Bicyclists who violate traffic laws are subject to a citation.
