N.J. Stat. § 39:4-114: Traffic signal in paved roadway or poles in crosswalk lanes prohibited

No traffic signal shall be so located as to obstruct the paved width of the highway, nor shall poles carrying signal supports be so placed as to be in pedestrian crosswalk lanes. Where there is, or may hereafter be erected a fixed raised safety zone, the highway area covered by the raised safety zone shall not be construed to mean the paved width of the highway.
