The NIMBY mindset is very dangerous.

Well, if anyone would run/win on a platform and raise taxes to build/expand roads, maybe they wouldn't have to do stuff like this.

And if you have never done the drive from Jersey into NYC via the GWB during rush hour, you have no idea how tempting any shortcut is. -- nm

but that's just one of the surrounding townships. I'm sure there are other locals who travel through that town all the time -- nm

Also, local residents are to be given placards to hang from rear view mirror. (Id be selling mine on ebay if I lived in Leonia)

no, but taking action to limit public roads is. a town on the way to santa cruz has made efforts to stop through traffic during peak summer weekends.

that was just one example; and the store, as with most liquor stores here, sell beyond booze. other businesses, most of them small, have seen losses.

Dealing with seasonal tourist traffic is a completely different animal than inflicting rush hour on neighborhoods not designed for pass-through commuters. -- nm*

Toll them (say, for people without a tag, or transponder), don't fine people who want to use a *public road.* -- nm*

And if I were the town next to them, I'd put up a toll booth and start charging them $250 to enter my town. -- nm

Or they could just stay on the highway that’s designed to handle that traffic.
