The new pedestrian safety law went into effect on April 1, 2010 in New Jersey and requires motorists to come to a complete stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks, as well as for pedestrians crossing at intersections where there are no marked crosswalks. This is the first change in NJ law regarding pedestrian safety in more than 50 years. New Jersey is ranked number 1 in the nation in pedestrian deaths. Casey's accident was a catalyst in the change of this law.
Since statistics show a decrease in pedestrian deaths in N.J. in 2010, it is likely that Casey’s Law is already making a difference and saving lives!
