Hawthorne NJ, Hawthorne Police Traffic Bureau, sent us a School Zone Safety message that applies to all towns, cities, villages ,townships and boroughs , “When approaching or using a school crosswalk, the rules are different.

It is crucial that drivers are aware of this process and make sure the crossing guard is clearly out of the intersection before proceeding.
