Is obstructing traffic a moving violation in NJ?

I received a ticket for obstructing traffic in New Jersey when I got caught in an intersection due to traffic. The officer didn’t give me a ton of information about what happens with this type of ticket. Is obstructing traffic in NJ considered a moving violation?

Obstructing traffic is a moving violation in NJ, although it’s not nearly as catastrophic as other types of offenses. While obstructing traffic results in a permanent mark on your driving record and a fine of $54, it doesn’t add any
driver violation points to your license
.
Because you get zero points on your license, you likely won’t see an increase to your
New Jersey car insurance costs
. But if you notice that your rates increase after paying this ticket, use the
