Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for school zone cameras during school hours. But the recent legislation removing time restrictions on them is a cash grab. I’m sure people will argue 25 is a safer speed limit at all hours. But if it’s not necessary, it causes more backup at lights and intersections because fewer cars are flowing through a given time within those zones.

I’ve witnessed someone get run off the sidewalk because of a bike speeding through the sidewalk. Same for bikers not obeying traffic lights specifically for regulating bikes! Took millions to implement bike lanes and new traffic lights and still, no accountability.

This sub is so anti car and full of people who don’t understand why a car is even necessary. Got elderly parents who live outside the 5 boroughs? Literally cheaper for me to drive around and drop off their groceries than paying a service for them. Drivers have long accepted a “car tax” in NYC but in recent years it’s really gotten out of hand.
