The Nutley Department of Public Works is pleased to announce the installation of a new Pedestrian Crosswalk Beacon at the intersection of Prospect and Harrison Street. This innovative safety measure will enhance pedestrian safety and provide a safer crossing experience for residents, students of Lincoln School and parishioners of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.

The Pedestrian Crosswalk Beacon utilizes state-of-the-art technology, incorporating high visibility LED lights to alert motorists of pedestrians crossing the street to ensure optimum visibility and create a safer environment for all. This advanced system encourages responsible driving behavior and reinforces the importance of pedestrian safety.

Department of Public Works Director Mayor Joseph Scarpelli expressed his enthusiasm about the installation, stating, "The Township of Nutley remains committed to the safety and well-being of our residents, and the introduction of this Pedestrian Crosswalk Beacon is an important step in achieving that goal. In light of the proximity of this busy intersection to both the school and church, it is imperative to safeguard the lives of all the pedestrians in the area.”
