Ridgewood NJ, With the arrival of warmer weather, the Village of Ridgewood is seeing more families and young riders on the road than ever before. To ensure everyone stays safe and informed, the Ridgewood Police Department has officially launched “Bicycle Junction,” an engaging 12-part video series designed for riders of all ages.

As E-bikes and traditional bicycles continue to surge in popularity across North Jersey, understanding the specific “rules of the road” in our Village is more critical than ever.


What is Bicycle Junction?

Bicycle Junction is a comprehensive digital safety guide tailored specifically for the Ridgewood community. The series breaks down complex traffic laws and safety tips into simple, clear, and entertaining episodes.

Over the next 12 installments, the Ridgewood PD will feature familiar local faces and expert advice to help residents share the streets responsibly.

What You’ll Learn

The series covers everything from basic safety to specific Village ordinances, including:

  • E-Bike Laws: Understanding the different classes of E-bikes and where they can (and cannot) be ridden.

  • CBD Riding: Navigating the busy Central Business District safely without interfering with pedestrians.

  • Helmet Safety: Ensuring proper fit and compliance with New Jersey state laws.

  • Crosswalk & Bike Path Etiquette: How to interact with motorists and walkers at busy intersections.

  • Theft Prevention: Best practices for locking your bike to prevent local theft.

A Resource for Parents and Kids

The Ridgewood Police Department is encouraging parents to sit down with their children to watch the series together. It serves as the perfect conversation starter for teaching “smart rider” habits—reminding young residents that following the rules isn’t just about the law; it’s about looking out for one another.

Keep an eye on the Village of Ridgewood social media channels and the official Police Department website as they “roll through” the Junction!
