Hoboken Hasn’t Had a Traffic Death in Four Years. What’s It Doing Right?

Hoboken NJ is very small and aren’t all streets narrow? I only recall driving on one somewhat wide street there

Eh as someone who lives in NJ. Hoboken is a wealthy city and most of its citizens work in NYC and if they have to drive in NJ they lease inexpensive cars to do that but most of the the city dwellers are pedestrians.

Kinda weird. Hoboken is known for bars and I've seen my fair share of drinks late at night. Surprised there isn't anyone running into cars.

Legalized weed + ride sharing.

State police bored as fukk now that people don’t have to drink to get a legal buzz.

Streets are much safer.

Hoboken is incredibly small and narrow. Add to it stop signs or lights every 25ft, it’s really hard for cars to pick up speed to do damage. Add to it, most people walk there, I can understand why this stat exist.
