Road Safety

The most dangerous time to drive is within the first 10 minutes of rain or snow.

As we get set to deal with our first snow of winter 2016-2017, it's a good time to remind Ocean County drivers of a few things that seem obvious and some others that you may not think of until it's too late.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reports that during the past four years across the country, there have been more than 200,000 crashes that involve road debris.

Most of us have seen signs like the one above - it's state law that vehicles must stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. In reality though, it doesn't always happen, and sometimes the impatience of a driver leads to tragedy. Well, one Ocean County police department is driving the point home.
