- more likely it's the NJ a8holes who only work in NYC -- nm - decline Jan 24, 13:09 1
  - HEY! I don't work in NYC. -- nm - Jovian Jan 24, 13:14
people living the next town over are screwed and pissed off -- (link) - decline Jan 24, 12:53 9
- I wonder what the businesses losing non-local business think... -- nm - Ender Jan 24, 13:03 1
  - They can't be doing much business if the streets are gridlocked -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 24, 13:20
- "Leonia road restrictions don't impact neighboring Englewood drivers, so this headline is obsolete" -- nm - Max Jan 24, 13:01 5
  - 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 - decline Jan 24, 13:08
  - Except it does affect them because they still have to stop convince the cop they're from Englewood. -- nm - Ender Jan 24, 13:05 3
    - If only drivers were required to carry around a document that stated their address... -- nm - znufrii Jan 24, 13:06 2
      - 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) - Jovian Jan 24, 13:08
      - Which they still have to stop to do... -- nm - Ender Jan 24, 13:08
- Sure. - znufrii Jan 24, 12:59
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. - b. Jan 24, 12:49 4
- These people aren’t stopping for a bottle of booze on their morning commute into the city. -- nm* - znufrii Jan 24, 13:00 3
  - 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. - b. Jan 24, 13:10 2
    - Dealing with seasonal tourist traffic is a completely different animal than inflicting rush hour on neighborhoods not designed for pass-through commuters. -- nm* - znufrii Jan 24, 13:18 1
      - ..and I just found the window where I mentioned it's not just weekends, there have also been complaints about commute traffic there and elsewhere in -- (edited) - b. Jan 24, 13:28
Toll them (say, for people without a tag, or transponder), don't fine people who want to use a *public road.* -- nm* - Andie Jan 24, 12:48
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 - Strongbad Jan 24, 12:45 1
- Or they could just stay on the highway that’s designed to handle that traffic. - znufrii Jan 24, 12:52
