169 NJ Towns Where You'd Better Buckle Up This Weekend

Be careful if you're driving in 169 towns this weekend. There will be an extra police car or two looking for you (see list below).

If they do catch up with you, make sure you've got your seat belt on.

Extra seat-belt enforcement will be on display this weekend during New Jersey's "Click It or Ticket Mobilization" campaign. Nearly 170 towns got a total of nearly $800,000 to pay fo the extra patrols (see list below of each town, and how much money they received).

The mobilization effort "will play a critical role in the effort to keep people safe on our nation’s roads and highways," according to state officials.

The campaign actually began on May 21 and will run through Sunday, June 3, 2018.

Law enforcement agencies in New Jersey and nationwide will conduct Click It or Ticket campaigns that incorporate "zero-tolerance enforcement" of safety belt laws with paid advertising and the support of government agencies, local coalitions and school officials to increase safety belt use and defend against one of the greatest threats to us all – serious injury or death in traffic crashes.

Click It or Ticket campaigns and similar efforts have increased safety belt use in cities, states and even in an entire region of the country. In New Jersey, 350 police agencies participated in the May 2017 Click It or Ticket Enforcement Mobilization. New Jersey's seat belt usage rate currently stands at 94.07 percent, up from 93.35 percent in 2016 and the highest usage rate that has been recorded.
