Brick Township Enhances School Zone Traffic Safety and Enforcement

Brick Township's police department is implementing a comprehensive plan to enhance traffic safety, particularly around schools. This includes maintaining high visibility during school drop-off and pick-up times, conducting increased enforcement throughout the town, and ensuring all traffic signals, crossing signs, and flashing school zone lights are operational before students return in September. The department is actively working to acquire necessary parts or replace malfunctioning equipment. Additionally, the Mayor's office is coordinating with township officials, including the planner, business administrator, engineer, traffic safety personnel, and county engineer, to develop road safety strategies. The county's strong relationship with Brick Township facilitates quick action and resource acquisition for these initiatives. Educational programs for teen drivers are also being considered [cite: 4-35, 36-57, 61-66].
