TRENTON – A measure sponsored by Senators Joseph Coniglio and Paul A. Sarlo that will work to increase pedestrian safety at dangerous crosswalks and intersections was signed into law today by Governor Richard J. Codey.

“New Jersey’s roads are some of the busiest in the nation and pedestrians here deserve sound safety measures in heavy traffic areas,” said Senator Coniglio, D-Bergen. “Pedestrians should never feel overwhelmed or under-protected when trying to cross our streets. This law will make roads safer by making both drivers and pedestrians more aware in troublesome traffic areas.”

TRENTON – A measure sponsored by Senators Joseph Coniglio and Paul A. Sarlo that would work to increase pedestrian safety at dangerous crosswalks and intersections received final legislative approval today in the Assembly.

“As congestion and traffic become ever increasing nuisances to the people of New Jersey, we need to take every step possible to encourage people to walk more and use their cars less,” said Senator Coniglio, D-Bergen. “We are working hard to make sure that crosswalks and intersections are as safe as possible for pedestrians, so that New Jersey residents will be more likely to walk to the grocery store, their child’s school or a neighbor’s house.”
