Common Traffic Tickets in River Edge

River Edge sees significant traffic along Kinderkamack Road, Continental Avenue, and the routes connecting to Route 4. Police enforce traffic laws actively in this area. Common violations include:

• Speeding — especially near Cherry Hill and Roosevelt Elementary Schools
• Running red lights and stop signs — River Edge has several busy intersections
• Careless driving — 2 points, often issued after fender-bender accidents
• Reckless driving — 5 points and up to 60 days in jail
• Texting while driving — fines starting at $200 for first offense
• Driving without insurance — license suspension and heavy fines

The Hidden Cost of Traffic Points

New Jersey's point system penalizes repeat offenders heavily. At 6 points, you pay $150 per year in surcharges plus $25 per additional point. At 12 points, your license is suspended.

Insurance companies react even faster. One speeding ticket can increase your premium by 15-20%. A reckless driving conviction can double it. Over three to five years, the insurance cost of a single ticket can reach thousands of dollars.

How We Handle River Edge Traffic Cases

Negotiate point reductions. We work with prosecutors to reduce moving violations to zero-point offenses like unsafe driving. This is the most common and effective strategy for River Edge traffic tickets.

Challenge the evidence. Speed readings from radar or lidar must come from calibrated, properly maintained equipment operated by certified officers. We demand proof of every element.

Seek dismissal. If the citing officer does not appear, if the evidence is insufficient, or if procedures were not followed, we move for dismissal.

Represent you in court. We appear at River Edge Municipal Court on your behalf. You stay at work while we handle your case.
