Not suggesting pulling a Leonia but genuine question.… I’ve noticed Weehawken has a “locals only” sign outside the Lincoln, on 19th and Hackensack Plank Rd. Are they not being sued because they don’t actually enforce it? Or just because no one has tried to sue, yet? It’s been there awhile, months at least.

That sign isn't actually referring to 19th and Hackensack Plank, rather warning about Pleasant Ave being closed between 32nd and Marginal. I believe the reason they get away with that is they have police actively forbidding anyone trying to use it as a throughway. Anyone specifically accessing the block of Pleasant (and for that matter, 33rd) is allowed to pass. It's done to alleviate the intersection at 31st, which 9/10ths of the time is being manned by police as well. Other approaches in town are still allowed, and it's not a blanket that all out of towners can't use the road, even if you live in town you can't do it. That's the distinction.

Ah, got it. Thanks for pointing out the distinction.
