Reply to comment by DocMordinSolus in Traffic deaths in NYC still 14% higher than pre-pandemic levels, latest data shows by ER301

So we are ready to dismiss the rise in traffic fatalities as a nationwide trend, therefore an issue people in NYC should just accept as a fact of life?

Of course you should be concerned, but the national trend would suggest it’s not largely due to local political decisions.

Same as crime. Your not-so-subtle implication of hypocrisy is broke.

When it's nationwide, it doesn't mean that there aren't solutions, but it does mean that we know what didn't cause it.

Literally the last paragraph of the linked article that you clearly didn't read: >And it should compel all of us, especially the experts who work on traffic safety, to get beyond the safety narratives we are comfortable with to something that will actually save lives.
