MOTORCYCLE SAFETY BILLBOARDS

Route 30, west of
Route 206/54
Cross Keys Road, South of Route 30
Hammonton
Berlin

The
billboards feature Dylan, Trevor James son. In the
THINK SAFETY banners and posters Trevor is holding
Dylan. Dylan is now 5 years old but was 3 in this
photo. Again, the purpose of using real people (Casey,
Trevor and Dylan) is to add that human element to have a
greater impact and hopefully change people's
behavior. ie slow down, get off the phone, stop for
pedestrians.

FY2010
Seat Belt Observation Survey
Sets Seat Belt Use at 93% in the Region
Each
year the SJTPO and SJTSA fund a seat belt observation survey
to determine seat belt use in the region. These
observations are done at intersections and include driver and
passenger seat belt use, gender and hand-held cell phone use
by drivers.
Driver

Use
Male
90%
Female 96%
Passenger Seat Belt

Each year, as part of the survey, there is an add-on component
to look at one special area of interest. In 2009 it was
seat belt use by commercial vehicle drivers. In 2010,
it's seat belt use, cell phone use (hand-held and hands-free)
and Graduated Drivers License (GDL) Law compliance by high
school students leaving high school parking
lots.

The original Pink Remembrance Tree
is in front of the Feldman's home in Springfield PA with
18,000 lights. Pink was Casey's favorite color and the
tree was decorated for the holidays but the tree has gotten so
much attention and given the family so much comfort that they
have decided to also promote it as a traffic safety
tree. 
Sea Isle City dedicated a
pink tree on May 1, as part of Community Day. The tree
is in front of the police department on JFK Boulevard. It
is decorated with 1,400 pink lights with a plaque
underneath.
Salem City dedicated a pink
tree on June 30. The tree is right in front of the
courthouse on Main Street, where employees cross the street
for work. The police flanked the tree with Casey
posters as another reminder to motorists and pedestrians to
share the road. The employees had complained that
motorists were not stopping and they were concerned someone
would get hurt. The banners seem to have made a
difference.
