Princeton Police Hosting Free Seminar On Traffic Laws For Cyclists, Pedestrians

PRINCETON, NJ — The Princeton Police Department will host a free two-hour seminar next month focused on traffic laws that govern and protect cyclists, pedestrians, and other non-motorized road users.

The event, titled "Title 39: Traffic Law for Vulnerable Road Users," is set for Wednesday, April 8, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The seminar is provided by the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey and is open to adults and teens ages 13 and older. Space is limited and registration is required.

Attendees will learn how Title 39 — New Jersey's motor vehicle code — applies to vulnerable road users, including where the law falls short. The program will also cover roadway design, equitable enforcement and the real-world challenges officers face when applying traffic law to non-motorists.

The presentation will feature perspectives from both a national bicycling coach and a law enforcement professional.
