Fall in New Jersey is one of the most beautiful times of the year. From the brilliant colors of the trees in the Watchung Mountains to scenic drives along Route 519 or through the Delaware Water Gap, the Garden State truly shines during autumn. Even the Jersey Shore is a beautiful place to visit this time of year!

Many residents take advantage of the season for weekend getaways, leaf-peeping trips, and long scenic drives. But while the fall foliage is breathtaking, it also brings hidden dangers for both drivers and workers as the season winds down.

As the leaves continue to fall, New Jersey roads can become slick and hazardous—especially when mixed with rain or early frost. Drivers enjoying the scenery may be distracted by the views, and the combination of wet leaves, winding backroads, and shorter daylight hours increases the risk of accidents. Additionally, autumn road trips often come with heavier traffic, and police remain vigilant for speeding, distracted driving, and DUI offenses throughout the season.

Workplace safety also becomes a growing concern as temperatures drop and the leaves pile up. Outdoor workers, delivery drivers, and construction crews face increased slip-and-fall risks from wet or leaf-covered surfaces. End-of-year demands can also lead to fatigue and rushed tasks—two common causes of workplace injuries.
