BRICK, NJ – Brick Township police have announced temporary safety measures ahead of Halloween, including a township-wide juvenile curfew and a no-parking order for the Lake Riviera neighborhood.
Officials say the measures are intended to manage heavy pedestrian traffic and ensure access for emergency vehicles during the Halloween festivities.
The restrictions will take effect Thursday night for Mischief Night and continue through early Saturday morning.
Key Points
• Temporary “No Parking” order in Lake Riviera from 6 a.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday
• Township-wide juvenile curfew in effect both Thursday and Friday nights
• Violators may face tickets, towing, or fines for curfew and parking violations
No parking order for Lake Riviera neighborhood
The Brick Township Police Department will enforce a temporary no-parking restriction throughout the Lake Riviera area to create a safe environment for trick-or-treaters. Parking will be prohibited on several key streets, including:
- Montana Drive (between Timberline Place and Georgia Drive)
- Pine Tree Drive (between Brick Boulevard and Delaware Drive)
- Huxley Drive (entire length)
Signs will be posted, and police warn that vehicles parked in violation of the order may be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense. The restriction will be active from 6 a.m. Friday, October 31, until 6 a.m. Saturday, November 1.
Township enforces Halloween curfew
To curb vandalism and maintain safety, a juvenile curfew will be in effect on both Mischief Night and Halloween. The curfew prohibits anyone under 18 from being in public areas without a parent or guardian between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. each night. Police emphasized that the curfew will be strictly enforced, though exemptions apply for minors accompanied by adults or traveling for legitimate purposes.
Increased police presence for safety
Brick Township Police said additional patrols will be deployed throughout the community during the Halloween period. Officers will monitor neighborhoods for disorderly conduct and ensure pedestrian safety amid the high volume of trick-or-treaters. Residents are urged to report suspicious activity to the department’s non-emergency line at (732) 262-1100 or call 911 in case of an emergency.
Community cooperation encouraged
Officials thanked residents for their cooperation and urged them to move vehicles from restricted areas and make alternate parking arrangements ahead of time. Police say the annual safety measures are designed to help families enjoy Halloween while maintaining public order across the township.
