Pedestrian Crossing Street Signs Set for Town

With a bustling main street and business district such as the one that courses through Hackettstown, sharing the road between vehicles and pedestrians is a must.

That’s why the Hackettstown Police Department and Business Improvement District are teaming up to hold a Pedestrian Education Awareness Event on April 27. Officer and community volunteers will be available at the Main Street Gazebo and the corner of Main and Moore Streets from 9 to 11 a.m. to provide information and education.

Donated by Me To You Consigments, in-street pedestrian crossing signs will soon be posted reminding all vehicles to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, the police department said.

The signage will be installed at intersections on Main Street and various other intersections in Hackettstown during the week of April 22 by the Hackettstown Department of Public Works.
