The new #NJSafePassingLaw FINALLY takes effect on March 1st 🎉🙌 With the strongest safe passing law in the country, #NJ can better protect its walkers 🚶‍♀️, bicyclists 🚲, scooters riders 🛴, and rollers 👨‍🦽 by telling drivers how to pass SAFELY. What does this mean for drivers? The bill requires all drivers to approach and pass people on NJ roads with “due caution” ⚠️: ▶️ If at all possible, the driver 🚗 should change ➡️into a non-adjacent lane before getting closer than four 4️⃣ feet. ▶️ The driver 🚗 should leave a reasonable, safe distance of at least 4️⃣ feet when approaching the protected users 🚴🚶‍♂️👩‍🦽 until they can pass safely. ▶️ If those options are not possible, the driver must reduce their speed to 2️⃣5️⃣ miles per hour and be prepared to stop 🛑 Violating these guidelines will now result in a fine of $500 and two motor vehicle points, if bodily harm is caused. If no injury occurs, the fine is $100. Help us spread the word! 🔊 Talk to your friends, urge them to follow the law and remember everyone they pass is someone’s family member, friend, or neighbor. Stay tuned for more details on the launch of our Safe Passing Law Awareness Campaign during Bike Month 🚲 (May) and how you can get involved!
