NJ Failure to Yield

East Brunswick, NJ Failure to Yield Attorney

Pedestrian crossings can be a tricky things in East Brunswick, NJ. For starters, they are not always easy to see or predict if they are 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, or 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). What does that mean in plain English: 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, he or she will receive a fine of $54 as well as two points on their driving record. Of course those drivers that 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. Some important questions to ask in these cases include:

• Where was the office situated in relation to the crosswalk and the ticketed car?
• What type of cross walk was the pedestrian crossing at the time?
• Were the any witnesses?
