Not true at all. Hoboken has small streets that you can’t speed on, plus some of the drivers will actually stop for you to cross at a crosswalk which is unheard of in JC. And Union City is littered with like 3 speed bumps on every single block, and every stop sign is an all-way stop. The problem in Jersey City is there is nothing stopping people from driving insanely fast.

What's funny is you can really see the difference in the few places where Hoboken hasn't spent any time trying to improve the streets. Like try being a pedestrian crossing 15th street north of Willow (where there are no stop signs or lights, no speed bumps, gritty wide streets, poor lighting, etc., and so you get endless lines of cars just gunning it) and you'll quickly realize how much better it is on basically every other street.

Didn’t say the drivers were worse or better but you can’t deny the enforcement is unequal??
