It's so much worse in downtown JC than in Hoboken or parts of Manhattan that I've lived in. I'm not sure I understand why, but a little enforcement would go a long way.

Unfortunately the only thing I can think of is doing a traffic study on the lack of stopping and submitting it repeatedly to JCPD and City Council. The remedy is relatively simple, but we need attention on the issue from elected officials.

I agree - I’m convinced that with a little bit of enforcement drivers would stop treating downtown as some kind of lawless shortcut freeway…OP - this happened to me so frequently I stopped walking through the Hamilton Park / Harismus Cove area altogether because my life just felt too threatened on a daily basis. I take Newark Ave now, which feels slightly safer.
