Hoboken Just Got 12 New Stop Signs, And More Are Coming: See Where

HOBOKEN, NJ — Twelve intersections in Hoboken now have all-way stop signs thanks to Mayor Emily Jabbour’s first executive order, the city said Monday.

Officials in the densely populated, mile-square city issued more than 600 summonses for drivers who failed to stop at signs last year, a city spokesperson said on Monday — making this the "single most used statute that comes before the Municipal Court in Hoboken."

The new order "recommitted the city to Vision Zero," a plan to eliminate traffic-related deaths in the mile-square city by 2030. The city has not had a traffic-related death in nine years.

The stop signs were added near schools, parks, transit stops, senior facilities, and other locations serving vulnerable populations, the city said.

Thirteen more all-way stop signs will be added in the future, the city said.

“These improvements reflect our commitment to protecting every resident, especially our most vulnerable,” Jabbour said. “From students walking to school, families heading to our parks, and seniors going to the Multi-Service Center, everyone should feel safe as they go about their day."

The new signs and markers are here:

• Clinton Street and 10th Street – Located in school zone, between Hoboken High School and Wallace Elementary School, near Columbus Park, and along a bus route
• Jefferson Street and Third Street – Located near a church
• Park Avenue and 13th Street
• Park Avenue and Ninth Street – Located near Brandt Elementary School
• Willow Avenue and Second Street – Located near a bus stop and American Legion Post 107 housing
• Clinton Street and 11th Street – Located near Wallace Elementary School and a bus stop
• Jefferson Street and Second Street – Located near HoLa (Hoboken Dual Language Charter School)
• Adams Street and 11th Street
• Bloomfield Street and Sixth Street
• Grand Street and Second Street – Located near the Multi-Service Center and Senior Center
• Jackson Street and Fourth Street – Located near Mama Johnson Field
• Jefferson Street and Ninth Street – Located near public housing and Hudson-Bergen Light Rail

Each all-way stop sign was supported by a comprehensive analysis conducted by transportation engineers, the city said.

The Hoboken Police Department will soon launch a targeted enforcement operation to make sure vehicles come to a complete stop across the city, officials said.
