Just as a heads up, last week I got a ticket for running a red light on 9W in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. The cop told me there has been a spike in cyclist accidents so they're cracking down. It was right next to a gas station about 2 miles before you would turn left off of 9W to return to the GWB (travelling south on 9W).

I was an easy target because I was riding alone. I doubt he would have tried to pull over a group of riders, but maybe. The upside is the ticket is only $50, I was expecting much worse.

Anywho, just throwing it out there to be alert.

Thanks for the heads up. I rode Nyack on Wednesday, and I stopped at that light (only because I was meeting someone there). Glad the ticket wasn't too bad.
