State transportation officials would study pedestrian safety on South Lakeshore Drive

New Jersey's transportation department would study pedestrian safety. The study would cover South Lakeshore Drive in Pemberton Township, Burlington County. The department would consult Pemberton Township and examine speeding, crashes, pedestrian injuries and deaths, and possible solutions. The study would end no later than two years after the bill takes effect, which would happen immediately if it becomes law.

The department would prepare and send a report on the study. The report would go to Pemberton Township's governing body, the governor, and state lawmakers. The report would count crashes, speeding tickets, and pedestrian injuries and deaths during the study and recommend ways to reduce them. The department would submit the report no later than one year after the study ends. The bill would expire when the report is submitted.
