From what I've seen, you can also park all nights and weekends directly in front of fire hydrants, in crosswalks, on corners painted red...basically, wherever the heck you want. No laws apply when the PA isn't patrolling. Police don't care. THOSE laws aren't their concern. But come 9AM, if your bumper is 6 inches in the red or in a zone that is literally across the same street from your own zone (e.g. parts of Coles are 6 on one side of the street and 5 on the other) BINGO! TICKET!

"If this pedestrian had crossed the street in the proper fashion this never would have happened. Hope the police issued the summons if this person was j-walking...I see this type of thing all the time..we have all been victim to it here in JC..people darting into the street..im not surprised...always the drivers fault never the person acting improperly. "




If you think cars usually stop for pedestrians in crosswalks in JC, we live in 2 different JC dimensions.

In my JC dimension , almost NO cars stop for me when I'm standing at the edge of a crosswalk. With a baby in a stroller. PARTICULARLY COPS, who--more often than not--IGNORE us, and whiz by, usually talking on the phone, and then tear around a corner without...wait for it...signaling.

This is the sad truth, one which trumps any other.

The day I see a JC police car use a turn signal or stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk might be the day I believe things could possibly change. Until then, I understand that the culture of insanity runs so deep, in so many different directions...it is near hopeless.

The pedestrians are often as completely crazy and suicidal as the drivers--just take a drive around town when schools get out to see what I mean. Then again, these pedestrians are drivers, or soon-to-be drivers, too. It is a culture of "I don't give a sh*t." and it permeates all JC communities, regardless of ethnicity, immigrant status, or income.

Police can't enforce problems they can't even perceive. These cops are some of the worst drivers, breaking the most laws, constantly. They clearly see nothing wrong with it. Frankly, the WORST offenders of traffic and parking laws in JC seem to be anyone with a PBA plate or badge suctioned to their window.

Columbus and Grand are freeways placed in the middle of neighborhoods, and many will surely die.

Where is any follow-up story? An entire urban area is shutdown during rush hour and nobody reports on the findings?

Personally, I like the fluffy bread. The falafel might be a step below Ibby's, but the sandwich itself was less of a mess, and quite tasty.

I've gone at lunchtime, so it does take a while to get my food, but the worker/owner were very personable. I wish them luck.

Just get yourself one of those big shiny Police Supporter badges to obstruct half your windshield, and all will be fine (or should I say NO FINE).

...Like the black SUV who parks IN the crosswalk EVERY Saturday afternoon across from C-Town and NEVER gets a ticket.

Really, I'd say about 60% of the time I see a "bad, even for Jersey City" driving maneuver being pulled, there is that gargantuan badge, in all it's suction cupped glory.

Or, as mentioned earlier, just become a cop so you can nearly mow down parents pushing strollers at crosswalks near Hamilton Pk.

To the honest folks who say it will be hard to wrap your Jersey City-born-and-bred arms around "civil" driving laws, I feel for you...but don't worry, barring a radical systemic change, you can go on your merry murderous ways with little worry of anything but sporadic enforcement.

Saw this tonight on Third st., but he pedaled off before I could figure out what I was seeing. It didn't seem to me that he had any tools, so all I can imagine was that he is collecting the caps to the air valves from tires. Is there a black market for these 50 cent items???

Could be he was grabbing hubcaps, but I dunno...again, I saw no tools.

I've lived here for over 13 years and had almost everything mentioned here happen to me multiple times: Mail not forwarded, handed a worker a form and told the next week by same worker I never handed in a form, entire building received no mail (hundreds of times over the years), mail "lost' (including obvious medication bottle), mail damaged, building getting incorrect mail EVERY SINGLE time a "substitute (i.e. illiterate??) carrier was working, phone rings off the hook at Montgomery for eternity without being answered, packages left at wrong address, carriers not reading notes left, not taking back wrongly delivered mail, rude workers, on and on.

Yeah, this post office rules.

(There ARE some good carriers, it is not always their fault. The substitute carriers , on the other hand, are one step up the evolution chain from newts, no offense to newts).

The is indeed a good chance that breathing in the air will lead one to become a thin, over-privileged, 20-something douche-nozzle with less musical soul than a bit of stale Wonder Bread and less conviction and authority than a pile of Canadian Goose feces.

Don't worry; the Port Authority will make the needed adjustments to the schedule by sometime 2026.
