NYC is seriously anti-car. Nothing new

Why not 5mph? Then they will blame roads are congested and have congestion pricing in all 5 boros and toll every bridge for MTA mafia

maybe if people paid attention to what is gong on out in the streets there wouldn't be that many lives lost.
seems like these days no one is ever paying attention to what they are doing.


20 is too slow, 25 is too slow.

No they want us to ditch our cars....

A lot of NFL players can run faster than 20 mph. Cars should be allowed to drive faster than someone running.

Remove plates. When you get pulled over say “ oh no, looks like they were stolen “. Repeat as needed.

If you've driven in NYC you know that half of NYC drivers can't even handle 25.

Speeding is no longer a common problem. You rarely see cars go past even the 50mph speed limit on the highways. Majority of Uber drivers are afraid to get violations which can cause them to lose their ability to drive with Uber.

If they lower the speed limits even more it will slow down traffic entering and exiting manhattan which will reduce the amount of tolls collected. I really don't feel like driving in manhattan at all because it's too congested and there's nothing much I need to do.

Other than restaurants, office visits, there's nothing left to do. Eventually these restaurants will get so expensive that it's not worth going in.

Dinner - $250
Congestion toll - $15
Parking Ticket- $115

That could be the kind of night just for a simple dinner.

It could even lower to 10mph. Have fun with that.
