Trenton, New Jersey. Under a state rule that officials claim is being vigorously enforced without exception, all cars in New Jersey are required to display both the front and back license plates at all times.
The legislation states that it is a violation that can result in summonses if both plates are not displayed correctly. This includes operating a vehicle with tags that are not properly displayed, driving or parking a vehicle without a front plate, or having plates that are covered or disguised.
The provision is applicable to all vehicles on the road, regardless of model or kind, as the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission and local law enforcement agencies have reaffirmed. The following are specifically mentioned as infractions: parked or moving cars without the appropriate display, no front plate, and plates that are covered or disguised.
According to officials, compliance enables law enforcement and monitoring technologies to precisely identify vehicles, promoting safety and accountability on the roads. On-the-spot citations may be issued to vehicles discovered in violation.
The state has emphasized that the rule is in full force and is routinely enforced by warning that summonses will be issued without exception.
Constant enforcement in every municipality
New Jersey’s municipal police forces have been directed to give plate compliance first priority when conducting parking enforcement and traffic patrols. For automated enforcement systems to work well, cameras need to be able to see license plates clearly from both the front and the back.
New Jersey is one of the states that requires front and rear license plates on all regular passenger cars, a requirement that hasn’t altered in recent years, whereas other states just require rear plates.
No grace periods or modifications to the regulation have been issued by the authorities. The law is a component of continuous initiatives to enhance road surveillance and preserve order.
It’s required by law. According to the notification distributed this week by public safety authorities and local organizations, there are no exceptions.
Drivers in New Jersey are cautioned that breaking the two-plate law might result in instant fines.
