Section 19:9-5.6 - Film permits

(a) Persons wishing to take photographs, videos, or motion pictures (collectively, "film") on those portions of the Roadway under the Authority's control shall apply for a traffic permit in accordance with the procedures set forth in N.J.A.C. 19:9-5.4, subject to the approval of the Executive Director. The application for a traffic permit to film on the Roadway is found on the Authority's website, www.nj.gov/turnpike.

(b) The Executive Director may grant such permit unless the Executive Director determines that the time, location, or nature of such filming would interfere with or obstruct the movement or flow of vehicles and people lawfully on the Roadway, or create an undue risk to the safety, traffic security, or movement of the Roadway or the Authority's employees or patrons that cannot be adequately controlled.

(c) The permittee shall comply with any Authority restrictions on the time, place, and manner of the filming imposed as a condition of the grant of a permit in order to ensure the safety, traffic security, or movement of the Roadway or the Authority's employees or patrons.

(d) In the event that a bona fide representative of the news media requires immediate permission to film an emergency situation on the Roadway, the Executive Director or his or her designee may grant a permit to film to the news media representative, provided that:

1. The applicant has previously obtained a valid press pass from the Authority;

2. The Executive Director or his or her designee has determined that such filming would not create an unreasonable risk to the safety, traffic security, or movement of the Roadway or the Authority's employees or patrons; and

3. The applicant agrees to abide by certain time, place, and manner restrictions on the filming that may be imposed by the Authority or the State Police to ensure the safety, traffic security, or movement of the Roadway or the Authority's employees or patrons.

(e) Persons wishing to film on those portions of the Roadway that are not under the control of the Authority, such as the buildings in the service areas that are under lease, shall contact the appropriate party for approval.
