New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Acting Commissioner Joe Bertoni has
issued an Emergency Traffic Regulation Order that temporarily lowers all posted speed limits to
35 miles per hour on Interstate and State highways in New Jersey starting at 12:01 a.m.
Sunday, January 25.

The speed limit reduction applies to:

• All Interstate highways in New Jersey
• All U.S. and State highways in New Jersey
• The New Jersey Turnpike
• The Garden State Parkway
• The Atlantic City Expressway
  The speed limit reduction is being made out of an abundance of caution based on the forecast for heavy
  snow, ice, and strong winds statewide. Winter weather is expected to begin early Sunday morning,
  January 25 and continue into Monday, January 26, which could make driving conditions treacherous
  throughout the state.
  Starting at 12:01 a.m., January 25, 2026 and in accordance with N.J.S.A. 39:4-98.9, this Emergency Order
  temporarily lowers all posted speed limits above 35 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour on state and
  interstate highways and will be in place until further notice. State and interstate highways with a posted
  speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less will not be affected by this Traffic Regulations Emergency Order.
• All motorists are encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel on Sunday and Monday.
