BREAKING: Ridgewood Train Station Ticket Crack Down !

Ridgewood NJ, we have learned that there will be a ticket crack down on any cars dropping off or picking up passengers via cars idling or blocking the pedestrian crosswalk in front of the Ridgewood Train Station mornings and late afternoon and evenings.

Perhaps completing the car turn away or before the drop off area away from the pedestrian white striped Crossing line grid. When the lot is full mid-Day – this might create a catch 22 situation as drivers might ask exactly where is the authorized passenger drop off area ( without car idling)
