My town here in NJ just put up a bunch of “no turn on red signs” all over the place; while I understand that at some busy intersections with a lot of foot traffic, many others are in bizarre, quiet places.
Remember the whole uproar when NYC cops stopped writing tickets because of DeBlasio’s community activism against the NYPD? I hope people paid attention, and realized how much the city was dependent on that revenue.
In the NYC metro area it is more about parking tickets than speeding, because an actual traffic stop in an urban area can precipitate a hail of gunfire.
Foot traffic? That’s no excuse to limit vehicular freedom.
I hope people paid attention, and realized how much the city was dependent on that revenue.
The city AND the police unions are dependent on that flow.
