Vision zero a setup in the anticipated legalization of weed.
Legalize pot? Laugh..Then you will truly have vision zero.
Dropping speed limit down to 25mph wasn't the answer.
Drivers will be so stoned even dropping limit to 10 mph
they won't even be aware they have hit someone.
Adding greatly to traffic accidents is technology. Drivers and pedestrians are distracted by their devices. Half the people walking around have there eyes glued to the screen. Drivers also are distracted, even the hands free car technology requires some visual interaction with the screen.
That's why there's so much fatalities here vs in Europe where bikes are even higher in use than here. But the main difference is the bikers there follow the rules and they don't bike on car lanes and the bike paths there are much better designed than here. I see almost bikers in Europe mostly wears a helmet as oppose to here some do.
Cyclist have ALWAYS caused nearly 90% of all traffic accidents. They don't follow the rules of the road. Don't mistake me as defending motorists. Far too many of them are reckless as well, but they cause other issues.
From your article:
Quote:
The surge in crash deaths comes despite a drop in overall traffic, The Post reported earlier this month. Experts believe the two are related — that fewer cars on the road has led to people driving more dangerously.
Leading the spike are motorcycle and car deaths, which have both increased significantly compared to 2019. The number of cyclists and pedestrians killed, meanwhile, has dropped.

Please... as if NYC drivers aren't reputed nationwide to be some of the most aggressive, awful drives in the country.....
Yet another monumental failure by de Blasio. He took a city that saw declining traffic accidents and fatalities every year for 12 years or so and completely jacked up the system by pandering to Traffic alternatives and allowing them to unfeathered access to change nearly every aspect of how traffic flows in the city. No one is shocked by this turn of events. NYC must elect a Republican that can u do the last 8 years of disastrous policies.
Not surprising, Blasio kept slamming drivers but has done ABSOLUTETLY NOTHING, NADA, ZILTCH to go after pedestrians on their phones crossing mid block or against traffic lights
