Fair Lawn NJ, on Friday  you may have seen some “action” on Fair Lawn Avenue (someone even posted Police presence on Facebook warning others ).

Fair Lawn Police responded with a warning to everyone and on behalf of the 2 fatals, 53 pedestrians and 26 bicyclists injured in the last 3 years in crosswalks. YOU will be ticketed. Yesterday’s initiative yielded 53 summons, 43 of them for failure to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.

The Department says ,”This is not a “revenue maker” or any other nonsense on why we write summonses. This is for those people that we mentioned above who were killed or hurt. So drivers and pedestrians… use common sense, be alert and stay safe! Let’s get this number to “0” on all ends.”
