| | Safe Corridors take effect on New Jersey roadways (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | TRENTON — State Transportation Commissioner Jack Lettiere today reminded the public that the new “Safe Corridors” law doubling fines on nearly 130 miles of state roadway would take effect on February 15, 2004. |
 | | Signed into law by Governor James E. McGreevey in July 2003, the initiative doubles fines for a variety of driving offences, including speeding and aggressive driving, on sections of Routes 1, 9, 22, 40, 46, 47, 73, and 206. |
 | | The highway sections were designated as “Safe Corridors” based on statistics showing a crash rate 50 percent over the state rate and 1,000 or more crashes over three years. |
