New Jersey can order navigation reroutes
Beginning April 20, 2026, New Jersey’s Attorney General can order navigation operators to reroute traffic to protect emergency access. The system’s directions must have caused or worsened persistent traffic that blocks emergency operations or endangers safety. Towns can request an investigation through a formal governing-body vote, with supporting records and analysis. The Attorney General must respond within 90 days, but does not have to open an investigation. Orders last up to 12 months, require review at least yearly, and can be renewed after reassessment. Directions to hospitals and police stations are exempt. The Attorney General must notify the town and transportation commissioner about orders, and notify them and operators when orders end. The rulemaking requirement takes effect immediately; a report on results and recommended changes is due within 24 months after rules are adopted.
Navigation operators face daily rerouting fines
Beginning April 20, 2026, navigation-system owners or controllers face fines for ignoring an Attorney General rerouting order. The system must have caused or contributed to the ongoing emergency traffic condition. Fines range from $1,000 to $5,000 per day until compliance and apply to operators, not households. The Attorney General can lower or waive fines for documented good-faith compliance efforts or verified technical limits. Money goes to New Jersey’s General Fund for direct state actions, or the affected town for actions following its investigation request.
