A 470 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows municipalities to approve provision of traffic control services by law enforcement or certain other construction and work zone personnel for certain road construction projects.

This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to approve using law enforcement officers or trained construction workers (instead of only certified traffic control personnel) to manage traffic during road projects on local streets with a speed limit of 25 mph or less. It directly affects municipalities, utilities (like water or electricity providers), and contractors working on road improvements, repairs, or maintenance on municipal roads. The bill requires the state transportation commissioner to set minimum training standards for construction workers providing traffic control, and permits quick adoption of implementing regulations (effective up to 360 days) without full administrative review. Projects must begin at least 90 days after the bill takes effect.
