The '''Safe Corridor''' initiative is part of an effort by the [[New Jersey Department of Transportation]], and departments from other states, to improve the safety of its roads. Roads with accident and fatality rates above the average may have some of their lengths designated as "Safe Corridor" areas. In these areas, traffic fines are doubled.

At the program's inception, there were thirteen roads with Safe Corridors: [[U.S. Route 1 (New Jersey)|U.S. Route 1]], [[U.S. Route 9 (New Jersey)|U.S. Route 9]], [[Route 10 (New Jersey)|Route 10]], [[Route 17 (New Jersey)|Route 17]], [[U.S. Route 22]], [[Route 23 (New Jersey)|Route 23]], [[U.S. Route 30 (New Jersey)|U.S. Route 30]], [[U.S. Route 40 in New Jersey|U.S. Route 40]], [[U.S. Route 46 (New Jersey)|U.S. Route 46]], [[Route 47 (New Jersey)|Route 47]], [[Route 73 (New Jersey)|Route 73]], [[U.S. Route 130 (New Jersey)|U.S. Route 130]], and [[U.S. Route 206 (New Jersey)|U.S. Route 206]].

The Safe Corridors Program is a part of [[New Jersey]]'s "Safety First" initiative, which combines $20 million in highway improvements over five years with stricter police enforcement, increased fines for unsafe equipment and hazardous driving, and enhanced driver education for all motorists. New Jersey's Safe Corridors Program focuses on improving safety along the State's most crash-prone corridors – nearly {{convert|130|mi|km}} of state roadway.
