Here are a few simple tips that could help cut down on incidents this increased traffic could cause: • Motorists: In addition to all the basic traffic laws – keeping right; obeying traffic signs and speed limits; stopping for pedestrians; and avoiding distractions while driving – remember New Jersey's four-foot law. Under this law, motorists travelling on single-lane roads must allow a four-foot clearance when passing a cyclist or pedestrian. If that's not possible, motorists must slow to 25 mph and be prepared to stop until passing is safe. • Motorcycle Riders: Motorcycle riders are bound by the same traffic laws as other motorists, including speed limits and passing laws. While New Jersey's traffic laws do not specifically address lane-splitting (i.e., riding between cars), riders who do this could be cited for failure to keep right. Helmets with neck or chin straps and reflective material on both sides are required for all riders and their passengers. Eye protection (i.e., wind screens, goggles, or face shields) is also required. • Cyclists: Because cyclists have access to the same roads as motorists, they share the same responsibilities: obeying traffic signs, riding in the same direction as traffic, and keeping right. New Jersey requires all cyclists and passengers under 17 to wear helmets. If riding at night, bikes must be equipped with lights (white on front, red on back) for better visibility. • Pedestrians: Use sidewalks when available; otherwise stay close to the curb or shoulder of the road and walk facing traffic. Cross only at crosswalks or intersections and make eye contact with nearby drivers and cyclists to make sure you're noticed before crossing. Watch for vehicles backing in and out of driveways and in parking lots. Stay alert and be visible, especially at night; wear light or reflective clothing and carry a flashlight. Adherence to New Jersey's traffic laws and a little common sense can go a long way toward sharing the road safely. – Anthony Kearns 502 U.S. 22 Lebanon, NJ 08833 908∙534∙7900 www.KearnsRotoloLaw.com Tony Kearns and Vic Rotolo Working Together to Protect What's Important to You "I thought that spring must last forevermore; For I was young and loved, and it was May." ~ Vera Briain "Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'

The WCTT, established in 1975, has been a beacon of empowerment, community service, and friendship ever since. The WCTT has been at the forefront of community service initiatives. From organizing food drives for local pantries to supporting educational scholarships for deserving students, the club consistently strives to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Their selfless dedication to serving the community has earned them immense respect and admiration. Beyond their philanthropic endeavors, the WCTT fosters a strong sense of friendship and camaraderie among its members. Monthly general meetings, social gatherings and various recreational activities provide opportunities for women to connect, support, and inspire one another. The club serves as a support network, ensuring that no member feels alone in their journey. The WCTT meets as a member- wide group on the first Tuesday of the month December through June and then September through December. The exception is our September meeting which is the second Tuesday of the month, and is our Welcome Back Tea. There are no monthly membership meetings in July and August. Our meetings are held at the Oldwick Manor, behind the Oldwick Fire House in Oldwick, NJ. Meetings start at 9:00 am, for fellowship and fun, with our business meeting beginning at 9:30. Non-members are welcomed to attend a meeting. We often have a guest speaker and always have refreshments. Please stop by!
