Road Maintenance Problems, Biking in New Jersey Overview, Traveler Info

As a bicyclist, you are probably aware that roadway conditions are not always ideal on the portion of the road where bicycle traffic normally operates. The bicyclist may encounter a variety of problems, such as sand, gravel, broken glass, trash, sewer grates or utility covers, potholes, ridges and other forms of pavement deterioration.

What to do:

For best results, bring the condition to the attention of the appropriate agency in writing (for state system roads, copy the New Jersey Department of Transportation Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator).
Follow-up with a phone call (for emergency situations, call right away).
Do not abuse this right. Don’t raise complaints over conditions you can live with. Reserve your complaints for serious problems and you’ll be taken seriously.
