The New Jersey Motorcycle Awareness and Safety Act mandates the Commissioner of Transportation, in collaboration with the Director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, to create and annually update a public awareness campaign focused on motorcycle safety. The primary goals of this campaign are to promote motorcycle safety, encourage vigilant driving, and ultimately reduce the number of motorcycle-related accidents on New Jersey roads.
The campaign is required to include educational materials highlighting the importance of motorcycle safety, information regarding the risks associated with distracted driving, and the use of variable message signs to communicate best practices for safely sharing the road with motorcyclists. This act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
