A state judge has voided a local ordinance in Leonia that sought to bar non-residents from using certain roads as a rush hour traffic-reduction measure.

According to reports, Judge Peter Bariso of Hudson County Superior Court ruled Thursday that Leonia lacked authority to restrict access to certain streets that intersect with a state highway without permission from the state Department of Transportation. A portion of the roughly 60 streets covered by the ordinance intersect with Grand Avenue, also known as State Route 93.
