The Ridgewood Police Department is cracking down on motorists who fail to observe New Jersey’s crosswalk laws, especially in areas in and around the heavily foot-trafficked Central Business District (CBD).

During a two-day, 90-minute period last week, in which the department enacted its pedestrian decoy program, traffic officers issued 18 summonses to vehicle operators who did not stop and yield to an undercover police official attempting to cross the street.
Ridgewood Police Chief John Ward, who was dressed in plain clothes, played the pedestrian decoy on both days.

Might was well post the names of the offenders who got tickets.
I wonder how many who got tickets were Ridgewood residents.
