No one should experience these frequent close calls. We need redesigned streets. But we also need traffic enforcement: https://t.co/TnoAi9YizW

In the 75 days since the speed camera at 10540 S Western Ave was installed in late May, it's issued a mind-boggling 59,152 tickets. That's over 46 an hour! The peak was on 6/9, when it caught 1352 speeders. Or 1.3 a minute. But what do you expect when the road looks like this?

As a hockey fan and proud NJ resident the death of Johnny Hockey and his brother is a heartbreaking tragedy. We don’t need to live like this - NJ is considering a bill now #S361 to make our streets safer for bikes and pedestrians. Time to get it passed @GovMurphy @VisionZero4NJ

Absolutely tragic, rest in peace to Johnny and Matthew. Killed on bicycles in New Jersey. My road bike has sat in storage collecting dust for the last three years because of the awful people on the road, like the one that took these two lives. Do better. @VisionZero4NJ
Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau have passed away. Johnny was 31, and Matthew was 29.
