The Dunellen Police Department dressed up as shrubs to catch distracted drivers in the act.
Officers placed themselves on North Washington Avenue, a highly trafficked, pedestrian-heavy downtown area.
At this location, officers issued 74 citations to drivers they say were distracted by their devices within a six-hour period.
It was an effort to enforce New Jersey's Handheld Cell Phone Law.
Now officers are reminding drivers to keep their eyes on the road.
