As summer winds down and the school year approaches, the Matawan Police Department will be focusing on pedestrian safety. Officers will be conducting pedestrian crosswalk enforcement details throughout the Borough. Drivers are reminded that pedestrians have the right-of-way in marked crosswalks. Similarly, pedestrians are reminded to always use marked crosswalks and wait until approaching vehicles come to a complete stop before entering the roadway. Drivers who fail to properly stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk are subject to a summons under NJ Motor Vehicle Law (39:4-36).
