NJDOT enacted the 4’ Safe Passing Law in 2022. Let’s get the word out about this lifesaving legislation. ❤️Looking out for other road users on our streets and roads is a wonderful way to show love and care for one another in these turbulent times. @njbwc , state, and local advocates have been providing materials for our communities. 🚴‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️🧑‍🦼‍➡️👍🏻Let us know in comments If you’d like a lawn sign, magnetic bumper stickers, or these awesome stickers (did you know that it’s NJ law that people can ride in the travel lane even if there’s a bike lane?)👍🏻Message us to become a member of APCSC. 🔗The link to learn about it is in the bio.

Asbury Park Complete Streets Coalition was happy to participate in another awesome Community Festival on Saturday in Asbury Park thanks to the Quality of Life Committee!🚶🏻🛴🛵🛼🧑‍🦼‍➡️🛹🚲🚙Many members of the community stopped by to ask questions about initiatives for walking, rolling, and driving on our streets in AP, and we talked about the meaning of ❤️streets as public space. Lots of organizations shared information to benefit the community, and we enjoyed music, fun (bouncy house, pony rides, petting zoo!), and food, with neighbors, kids, and grandkids on a gorgeous day in Springwood Park. 🚶🏻🛴🛵🛼🧑‍🦼‍➡️🛹🚲🚙Asbury Park is only 1.4 sq miles, and should be completely accessible without a car. The city is experiencing an explosion of residential development, which will lead to traffic “carmageddon” unless we help to promote initiatives to reduce car dependency, and implement safe street design to make speeding less possible. No one should be afraid to walk or roll in Asbury Park because of cars, and good street design will be safer for drivers too. DM to get involved in making our streets safe for children, elderly, and for everyone in between to get where they need to go. Onward!#asburyparkcompletestreetscoalition #streetsarepublicspace #streetsareforpeople #communityfestival ... See MoreSee Less
