Permits designation of special event zones for traffic regulation purposes during certain large events.
This bill allows New Jersey's Department of Transportation, municipalities, or counties to create temporary "special event zones" around large events (25+ attendees) to improve traffic safety. Within these zones, authorities can lower speed limits, ban reckless driving stunts ("exhibition driving"), and increase penalties for traffic violations like speeding or parking offenses. Drivers violating rules in these zones face fines up to $1,000 or up to 60 days in jail for severe offenses. The zones remain active during the event plus a reasonable time before and after, with clear signage indicating speed limits and restrictions.
