During Teen Driver Safety Week in New Jersey, remember that fall evenings bring lower visibility and more people walking and biking. Use extra caution at dusk. Every person on the road is someone’s loved one.

E-bike riders should stay alert, obey traffic laws, watch for pedestrians, and always wear a helmet. Safe riding habits help everyone share the road responsibly.

This graphic was created by students at Mainland Regional High School through the U Got Brains! Champion Schools Program, a peer-led traffic safety initiative that empowers young people to promote safer communities.

September 21st is New Jersey Pedestrian Crosswalk Safety Day.

This annual observance honors the life and service of Bruce Morlak while raising awareness about the shared responsibility drivers and pedestrians have in creating safer roadways.

Crossing guards work every day to protect some of our most vulnerable road users. Let's show them the same care by slowing down, staying alert, following their directions, and taking a moment to say, "Thank you."

Together, we can help make every crossing a safe one.
