Requires NJTA to implement certain roadside maintenance safety policies.

This bill (A598) requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) to implement specific safety policies for its employees performing roadside maintenance. It mandates that NJTA prohibit power tool use in non-emergency maintenance during rain, require safety measures like warning signs and variable message signs during emergency work in bad weather, restrict gas-powered equipment to daylight hours (except emergencies), and use portable light towers for nighttime maintenance. These policies directly affect NJTA maintenance staff and drivers using New Jersey Turnpike roads. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
