Dear Resident:
On behalf of the Gloucester City Police Department, I hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable summer vacation. It is now time for a new school season with many new students going to school for the first time. We want to wish those new students well and most importantly we want them all to get to and from school safely.
We are asking the motoring public to be mindful of the new laws regarding pedestrians in the cross walks and we also want the pedestrians to be aware of the proper locations to cross. All motorists must now stop completely for any pedestrian who is within a legal crosswalk. Failure to stop for a pedestrian can subject the motorist to a traffic citation. Likewise all pedestrians must use a crosswalk to cross the street. It is not permitted to cross the street in the middle of the block or any other area where there is no crosswalk. Pedestrians must also cross the street at a right angle and they cannot walk in the street.
