Many of the larger cities and towns in New Jersey address the use of bicycles in differing detail for separate outcomes. In Newark, bicycles are prohibited in city parks. Atlantic City has laws on when bicyclists can ride on the famed boardwalk.
In Hoboken and Jersey City, laws clearly say that bicyclists are required to obey traffic signs and devices like motor vehicles. And Jersey City bans them on sidewalks in downtown business districts, and outside the business areas too, unless the rider is under the age of 9.
Edison has explicit rules on bicycles, which mirror state traffic laws, calling for them to have brakes, when reflectors and headlights are needed, and how bicyclists should make left turns. Those towns do not require bicycles to be licensed, though, like Perth Amboy, where police wielded their local law during a confrontation with local Black and Hispanic teens recently, arresting one and seizing the wheels of four riders.
