Wildwood Crest, NJ — The Wildwood Crest Police Department announced its participation in the 2024 Summer Shore Pedestrian Safety Campaign, running from July 10 through August 14. This initiative addresses the high number of pedestrian injuries and fatalities in New Jersey.
The campaign includes two key components: enforcement and education. Police patrols will focus on high pedestrian areas throughout Wildwood Crest, targeting behaviors that endanger pedestrians, such as distracted driving, impairment, and speeding. Both motorists and pedestrians may receive warnings or summonses for unsafe actions.
In addition to patrols, the campaign will involve distributing educational materials to the community to promote pedestrian safety awareness. Patrols will be conducted both on foot and in police vehicles, aiming to ensure the safety of pedestrians throughout the summer.
