New Jersey S351 mandates drivers to change lanes or slow down when approaching disabled vehicles with hazard lights.
New Jersey S351 imposes conditions on drivers approaching disabled vehicles with flashing hazard lights or reflective triangles. Drivers must either change lanes to avoid the disabled vehicle or, if that is not possible, reduce speed below the posted limit and prepare to stop. The bill also mandates a public awareness campaign by the Division of Highway Traffic Safety to inform the public about these requirements. Violators face fines ranging from $100 to $500.
