Thanks to the ongoing research performed by Rutgers Interns at the NJ Bicycle and Pedestrian Resource Center we are now able to track newspaper and internet reports of bicyclists and pedestrians involved in motor vehicle crashes in 2008.

Ground Zero so far: Toms River Township with 4 pedestrians killed since early January.
Maybe it's time to start setting up some ghost bicycles (in some cities, a bike painted completely white is placed at the scene of a fatal bike accident). Why does NJ not use simple measures to make drivers more aware, such as "share the shoulder" signs and other indications that drivers should look for bikers ?
