Street Smart North Plainfield

North Plainfield is the most densely populated municipality in Somerset County, and the first in the county to have a Street Smart campaign.

According to Plan4Safety, a crash database designed by Rutgers University’s Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT), North Plainfield experiences more pedestrian crashes than other parts of Somerset County. These findings inspired a Street Smart campaign to be held in late 2016, which resulted in improved pedestrian behavior, including a 13 percent increase in the rate of compliance with traffic laws in terms of how many pedestrians waited for the “walk” signal before crossing the intersection.
