Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Police Department conducted a pedestrian safety enforcement in the central business district.
Plain clothes officers were utilized in the pedestrian decoy program to enforce New Jersey motor vehicle statute 39:4-36 which requires vehicles to stop and stay stopped as a pedestrian crosses the intersection in a crosswalk.
Chief John M. Ward stated on Facebook that the public can expect to see an increase in Pedestrian Safety & Pedestrian Decoy details within the CBD and around area schools and that the Ridgewood PD appreciates your continued support and will continue to announce our enforcement activity.
What a waste of time and man power.
Why is it a waste of manpower?
Must not be any Verizon or PSE&G work today
you are kidding #1 right? They should do it more often and hopefully the next undercover work will be to stop texting. Texting fine should be points and big fine, not some little number that the rich snobs laugh off.
A $50,000 a year cop to monitor pedestrians ??? Walking ??? It’s getting worse each day.
you people are never happy…
Doms comments suggest the bro-mance between the mayor and the police chief may be over
When Valley leaves will we need this many cops, EMS and paid firemen ?
Find us some cops for $50k! The average patrolman at maximum step pay used to be $127,000.
I just drove through town.
From Maple ave to oak, I had TWO cars pull u-turns across the double yellow line into parking spaces!
I had 6 jaywalkers jump out from between cars.
Only 3 people used the crosswalks.
I guess no enforcement unless its a nice sunny day.
Kudos to the RPD for this program. STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS!!
Never enforcement in town!
#10: In all my many years of driving, I have never seen a single case of someone “jumping out” from between cars, and yet you saw SIX in one day.
You better start paying attention and look out the window instead of texting.
Yesterday wasn’t even busy and they were all over the place.
Well, I too have had people “dash out” from between parked cars almost daily on E Ridgewood Ave. When I honked at them, I had been given the finger. On 2 other occasions the people yelled out profanities. No matter what they do, they are never wrong!
get out of the cars and start walking. you are all getting fat, from doing zipo. why is it that the police have such bad hair cuts.
the police need to slow the n j t busses down in the c b d . they fly in and out of the town. that is a big problem. and what about the ass holes who just walk out into the dam road. what a bull shit law.
two excellent points!
