White Horse Pike in Atlantic County Among New Jersey’s Deadliest Roads for Pedestrians
Crossing these roads could get you killed.
New Jersey has seen some improvement but still has much to work on, according to the Tri-State Transportation Campaign's annual Most Dangerous Roads for Pedestrians Report.
This year's report, which looked at data from 2012 to 2014, found 398 pedestrians killed on New Jersey roads. That's an 8.5 percent drop from the previous analysis, which found 435 pedestrians killed from 2011 through 2013.
So, what are the most dangerous roads for New Jersey pedestrians?

A newcomer to the most dangerous pedestrian roadway list, but not totally surprising.
The population in this area has skyrocketed over the last few years with a huge increase in foot traffic and very little improvements to the infrastructure to accommodate the population spurt.
This span of Ocean County also reported six pedestrian deaths from 2012 to 2014.
