NWS Earle maintains strict adherence of the published vehicle
regulations by the State of New Jersey. All privately-owned vehicles
must be properly registered and have the minimum insurance limits required by
the state in which the vehicle is registered. Any vehicle not
properly registered will have its base decal removed and ticketed
appropriately. The fine for this infraction is very
expensive.
Speed limits are posted througout the base and are strictly
enforced. Any ticket issued as a result of speeding results in a
monetary fine if found guilty by a federal magistrate.
The mainside and
waterfront complexes are 15 miles apart and connected by a 15 mile long private
government road, Normandy Road. Housing and administrative buildings are on the
mainside while the homeported ships are located at the waterfront in Leonardo.
The specific regulations for Normandy Road include yielding to Northbound
traffic before crossing one-lane bridges and passovers, and pulling to side of
road to allow flashing cargo trucks and security vehicles to
pass. The speed limit is as posted (25-45 MPH) and is strictly
enforced by NWS Earle security. Speeding tickets begin at
$50.00.
NWS Earle has an abundant population of wildlife and they can
cause traffic hazards. Deer are blinded by headlights and will stop
in their tracks until they can see again. It is suggested you stop
and sound your horn to get them to continue with their
crossing. Additionally, because they usually travel single file in
herds, be sure all have passed before proceeding. NWS Earle has an
excessive amount of ticks, due to deer and wooded areas. Information
about ticks may be obtained from Medical.
