According to the event's organizers, it was the largest Clean-Up to date with more than 250 volunteers - which is a record number of participants. My thanks go to everyone at the Environmental Commission and all those who pitched-in to make the event a triumph. <<

ATTENTION BICYCLISTS & WALKERS
|
Important Facts to Remember...
Pedestrians:
- By law, pedestrians must cross streets at corners and intersections. Failure to obey pedestrian signals and use crosswalks at signaled intersections comes with a $54 fine.
- Be on the lookout for vehicles turning right on red - always look left, right, and left again before crossing any street.
- Be visible when walking at night and in inclement weather.
- Only walk sober.
- Eliminate all distractions while walking, such as texting and talking on the phone.
Bicyclists:
- Bicyclists must follow the rules of the road (stop at stop signs, yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, etc.).
- New Jersey law requires anyone under age 17 who rides a bicycle, is a passenger on a bicycle, or is towed as a passenger by a bicycle to wear a safety helmet (N.J.S.A. 39-4-10.1).
- Children should only ride bikes that fit their size - not bikes they will "grow into."
- No one should ride a bike at night without bicycle lights, N.J.S.A. 39-4-10(a white light on the front and a red light on the rear of your bike) - and always wear brightly-colored clothing at night (reflective clothes and reflective strips are ideal).
- A bell or other warning device is a legal requirement in New Jersey. It will probably not be heard by motor vehicle drivers, but it is useful as a warning and as a courtesy to alert other bicyclists and pedestrians of your approach (N.J.S.A. 39:4-11).
- Everyone should keep their bikes tuned-up and functioning properly.
