New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal’s office has spoken out against locals-only driving restrictions enacted in the towns of Leonia and Weehawken, but that might not be enough to stop the controversial traffic-taming practice.

A lawyer who sued Leonia over its restrictions on nonresident motorists filed an order to show cause on May 4, asking the town to stop enforcing its law in light of an opinion from the Attorney General’s Office declaring Town Ordinance 2018-5 invalid. But the town’s mayor has said in published accounts that Leonia did not agree with the state’s contention that the restrictions it imposed lie outside the authority of a municipality.
