This isn’t about safety. It’s about revenue.

and people are moving out. And you will pay more.
They won’t have too.

The only people in NYC who don’t care are older people with means who are retired and towards the last quarter of their life or those who are dependent on the NYC government.

Opinion:

Car: 10-20mph
Man: 8 mph
Woman: 6.5 mph

Why don't we just give up the cars and run to work.

What low IQ people are running this city. No pun intended ?

They are running out of ways to tax people.
This train has to crash at some point.

NYC speed limit likely to be reduced from 25 mph to 20 mph

Opinion:
Car: 20 mph
Man: 8 mph
Woman: 6.5 mph

Wouldn't it be cheaper just running to work? Hahahahaha................

It really is maddening, especially when you don’t live there and don’t have to deal with it 24/7. NJ driving can be a little crazy, but it’s vastly more tolerable than spending a single hour in a car in NYC.

I agreed to work upstate the last few weeks over NYC jobs. It takes me the same amount of time (oftentimes, LESS) to comfortably drive 60 miles as opposed to stressing myself to drive 30 in NYC traffic caused by revenue lights and intentionally choked off highways.

Driving anywhere outside of NYC is better including other major cities that have far superior road condition.

That's why reducing the speed limit is not going to solve the problem with accidents and pedestrian deaths.

Most people are hit by cars going under 15mph because usually involves a car that is turning or pulling out of a parking spot when an unsuspecting person just happened to got in the way.

NY law makers need to go after careless pedestrians because they way they implement laws to protect pedestrians is making cars impossible to drive.

Another liberal idea of over regulating something unnecessary if they can raise the safety equipment on cars and making driving licensing harder.
