Ridgewood NJ, I didn’t believe it until I read it myself. New Jersey State Code, section 15, you risk a $250 fine. – § 7:27-15.8 Idle standard – (a) No person shall cause, suffer, allow, or permit the engine of a gasoline-fueled motor vehicle to idle for more than three consecutive minutes if the vehicle is not in motion.
Nearly all county health departments have been delegated authority to enforce the new idling standards. In addition, State and local police departments can enforce the standard on public roadways and on private property.
Yep, the police can ticket you for idling in your driveway.
