New Jersey A1574, named "Drew's Law," establishes a 15 miles per hour speed limit on roads passing through or directly adjacent to certain public parks. This law aims to prevent fatal motor vehicle accidents in or near public parks by reducing speed in areas where children are present. Violators face fines of not less than $100 or more than $400, unless a county or municipality sets a higher penalty. The law is in honor of Drew Keough, who was tragically killed by a motor vehicle near a park in 2014.
