EAST BRUNSWICK – The East Brunswick Police Department will begin conducting “zero tolerance” enforcement specifically targeting motor vehicle violations that are hazardous to pedestrian travel such as speeding, careless driving, traffic signal violations, etc.

Motorists are required to stop for pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection and must remain stopped until the pedestrian finishes crossing, according to information provided by the department.

Pedestrians are reminded they are to obey pedestrian traffic control systems at intersections if they are present and cross only when advised to.

Enforcement locations will be random throughout the township. Officers assigned to this detail will be conducting enforcement with funding provided by the New Jersey Highway Traffic Safety Grant.
