Large scale pedestrianization is the only option at this point

Another killing on NYC streets. We cannot even go 12 hours without a driver murdering someone, devastating a family, leaving behind suffering and anguish. This happened at Lexington and 61st. We need change in NYC.

More lies from NYPost/NYPD — they conflate fatalities caused by "e-bikes or e-scooters" as "e-bikes." We know at least one of the fatalities in question was caused by someone on an illegal e-moto that NYPD could simply confiscate and destroy if it wanted.

Mamdani is letting reckless e-bike riders off the hook - but astonishing data shows the fatal cost of bike lane chaos trib.al/fvOPv51

"but what about emergency vehicles" is the last refuge of the anti-bike-lane argument and it's wrong every single time. fire trucks can navigate bike lanes. ambulances can navigate bike lanes. you know what actually blocks emergency vehicles? your double-parked f-150

@greenbergphoto1 @NYC_DOT @nick_benson @vinbarone our great bike lanes are useless if the DOTs own drivers won’t respect them!

Not just one but two @NYC_DOT vans completely blocking the lane on Flatbush Ave, and they’re not there to repair the crumbling curb cut

Constant carnage on our streets yet car freaks have a meltdown over speed limits and cameras. They should be ashamed of themselves

While the NY Piss and Common Sense Caucus have riled up NYC’s loudest cranks about “lawless e-bikes,” another driver has caused a horrifying crash in NYC. Five people are injured, so far, two critically.

This is horrifying and unacceptable. We need to *slow down* super speeders now.
Albany, it’s time to act this budget season to stop super speeders.

BREAKING: One Person is dead after Out-of-Control Speeding Driver Slams Into Crowd of People, Cyclists, and Multiple Vehicles outside of Apollo Theater in Harlem. One pedestrian was killed and another critically injured after a speeding SUV plowed into people, cyclists, and multiple vehicles near the Apollo Theater Thursday night, according to police. The crash happened around 8 p.m. at West 125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard, where authorities say a red Hyundai Tucson driven by a 49-year-old man lost control, struck two delivery workers on bikes, hit a tractor-trailer and an unoccupied NYPD vehicle, and sent victims flying. Witnesses said the vehicle was traveling at high speed and appeared out of control. Video by Ken Lopez | Licensing @FreedomNTV Desk@freedomnews.tv

Starting March 27, NYPD will start treating cyclists the same as drivers by stopping the Adams-era practice of writing criminal summonses to cyclists for minor traffic offenses.

The busiest section of 95 has only 321,000 daily drivers??? Highways are so pathetic!
Federal Highway Admn@USDOTFHWA
From Florida to Maine, I-95 is the ultimate East Coast backbone, linking all 13 original colonies and more. 🚗💨 📍 1,906 miles from start to end. 🛣️ 59 BILLION miles traveled yearly. ☀️ Busiest section? Miami, with 321,000 daily drivers! #GreatAmericanRoadTrip #Interstate70th

@CMRestler @NYPD84Pct This is good! But why can’t the NYPD do this without a walk through with a council member? Can’t they simply do their job like everyone else does?
English
After we released a report on illegal parking in Downtown Brooklyn & did a walkthrough w/ NYPD Chief of Transportation Obe, enforcement has increased. Last month @NYPD84Pct issued 1,317 tickets & towed 55 cars with placards, helping tackle illegal parking & make our streets safer

@nick_benson Fun fact: speed cameras, red light cameras (Houston installed and removed these in my lifetime), and variable speed limits (like the Autobahn) unless as part of a roadworks or school zone were all banned by the Texas State legislature.
English
Maybe they should be
NYC: 2-3 traffic deaths per 100,000 people
Houston: 10-13 per 100,000 people
And NYC has a whole lot more tourists on top of the 8.5 million residents on its streets

@nick_benson Speed cameras are not used in Houston at all. 24 hr cameras not necessary. Zero, zip, nada. School zone speed limits are 20 mph in effect 1 hour before and 1 hour after school is out. What you’re describing is a heavy handed, oppressive & abusive method of control.

I challenge everyone to experience their community car free or car lite for just a few days. It will open your eyes or, dare I say, radicalize, you to learn what your city feels like on the human level. You'll experience a sense of clarity no prestine windshield could provide.

@kristenmag I saw a great analysis. As written, 75% of manhattan streets would be 15mph 24 hours a day.
English
Does Mamdani really have any evidence that 15 mph is safer in school zones than 20 or 25? I’m skeptical.
It’s a money grab. And it’s also a control grab.
NY Post Opinion@NYPostOpinion
Mamdani’s 15 mph speed limit isn’t about safety, it’s another money grab trib.al/1jP2oGU
