GOAL ZERO: High Visibility Safety Campaign Today on Roadways, including among other towns: Middletown, Holmdel, Colts Neck, Hazlet, Keyport. See details:

MIDDLETOWN, NJ: Today, Thursday, July 25th, 2024 from 3:00 PM until 7:00 PM, Monmouth County roadways will be the focus of a High Visibility Campaign, including among other areas: Highway 36, in Middletown, Hazlet, Keyport and Keansburg, and Route 18, in Colts Neck- see detailed locations below.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ), "High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) is a universal traffic safety approach designed to create deterrence and change unlawful traffic behaviors. HVE combines highly visible and proactive law enforcement targeting a specific traffic safety issue. Law enforcement efforts are combined with visibility elements and a publicity strategy to educate the public and promote voluntary compliance with the law." The Goal Zero campaign is to raise awareness and increase enforcement with the goal of zero crashes, zero injuries and zero deaths. The Goal Zero Campaign was inspired by the tragic loss of a loved one to a motor vehicle crash. You can learn more about Goal Zero in the TAPinto featured link from March 2024, below this article.

This increase shows the need for not only this detail, but future details as well. The Goal Zero campaign was previously launched with the hope of saving lives in Monmouth County.

**WHAT THE GOAL:ZERO LOGO MEANS** The color of the logo represents high visibility and is the color for pedestrian and school safety. The black bar is a mourning band for all lives lost in traffic crashes. Learn more about Goal Zero and what is behind the campaign in the previous TAPinto articles below:
