Curfew Laws in Edison, NJ (2026)

Juvenile Curfew

Edison enforces a juvenile-curfew framework under Code Chapter 10 (Police Regulations), authorized by the New Jersey juvenile-curfew enabling statute at N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.52. Chapter 10 defines a 'minor' or 'juvenile' as any person under the age of seventeen (17) and prohibits juveniles from being on public streets or in public places during overnight hours absent a statutory exception (parent or guardian accompaniment, employment, going directly to or from a Township-recognized activity, emergency). The state enabling statute authorizes municipalities to set the hours and to enforce by Municipal Court summons; Edison's Parental Responsibility for Juvenile Offenses provisions in the same chapter extend liability to parents and guardians in defined circumstances.
