Madison Wants To Put The Brakes On Fatalities

MADISON, NJ - Mayor Robert Conley took to the streets to share a message of road safety as part in honor of Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day Thursday.

Conley presented Madison Police Chief Darren Dachisen with a proclamation proclaiming Oct. 10, 2019 as Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day, and called upon everyone to put lifesaving behaviors into practice to improve safety on the roadways in our community and throughout the state.

Lifesaving practices include:

• buckling up every ride;
• obeying posted speed limits;
• stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks and using crosswalks when walking;
• avoiding aggressive driving behaviors;
• never driving impaired;
• wearing proper safety gear;
• focusing solely on driving by avoiding distractions
