East Brunswick, NJ, Failure To Yield Attorney
Pedestrian crossings can be tricky in East Brunswick, N.J. For starters, they are not always easy to see or to predict if a pedestrian is trying to cross in a given moment. Unfortunately for New Jersey drivers, the police almost always assume a driver and not the pedestrian is the one in the wrong.
East Brunswick is notorious for ticketing drivers for a violation of NJSA 38 4-35, more commonly known as failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Summed up: It is a crime to fail to yield to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection in East Brunswick (and all of New Jersey, for that matter). In plain English, that means: If you are not completely stopped behind the line or intersection when a pedestrian is trying to cross, a police officer will ticket you for this offense.
If a driver is found guilty of this traffic violation, they will receive a fine of $54 as well as two points on their driving record. Of course, drivers who already have points on their record may also be dealing with a license suspension as a result of this unwelcome ticket. Because this offense is based on observation, there are viable defenses to a New Jersey failure to yield in a crosswalk charge. Important questions to ask in these cases include:
- Where was the officer situated in relation to the crosswalk and the ticketed car?
- What type of crosswalk was the pedestrian crossing at the time?
- Were there any witnesses?
