RED BANK: DISTRACTED DRIVING CRACKDOWN
Pay attention: that’s the message Red Bank police hope to get across to motorists as they conduct a special distracted-driving enforcement detail in April.
RED BANK: PAY ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING
Put down the cellphone and pay attention: that’s the message Red Bank police hope to get across to motorists as they conduct a special distracted-driving enforcement detail in April.
RED BANK: EYES ON THE ROAD, PLEASE
Put down the cellphone and pay attention: that’s the message to motorists that Red Bank police hope to underline this month as they conduct a special distracted-driving enforcement detail.
Why? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2014, 3,179 people were killed and an estimated 431,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver.
TEXT ALERT: TIME RUNNING OUT FOR METERS
The centralized pay stations replaced coin-operated meters in several downtown lots last summer, and could displace all remaining meters in a few months, the Press reports. (Click to enlarge)
Tuesday’s Asbury Park Press has some news about Red Bank’s new pay-for-parking system:
• that users can now get text alerts when their allotted time is about to run out
• and that borough officials plan to replace all the old coin-operated meters with the new technology by summer.
Well, at least one of those two is news. Though the article quotes Mayor Pasquale Menna as saying the text alerts went live “a couple of weeks ago,” the text option has been operational since the stations were installed last June. redbankgreen has been using the option since last August, as the dates on the screen grab at right show.
