I'm more in favor of dedicated bus lanes than any other transit project. I mean bus lanes in all boroughs for local and express buses. We would move a hell of a lot of people if not for a truck or cab parked in front of a deli blocking the way.

Avenue street parking needs to be loading/unloading only.

This would also need to be enforced like even 1% of the time

Bus-mounted cameras.

Bus-mounted cow pushers. Bus drivers would enjoy enforcing their own lanes.

Why not just tow the cars away? Charge the owner for the tow and for the ticket.

Use the money to fix the subway!

Edit: I just saw on the news they’re finally cracking down on ghost plates by towing them/ charging the owners/ sending the cars to auction, so I guess this is a totally plausible and enforceable plan that should pay for itself?

One side only. They can cross the street for stores on the other side.

Yes, bus lanes are such a cheap and effective way to improve transit... if they're kept clear.

But the reality is that only automated enforcement cameras will effectively do that and many people here seem to have a knee-jerk reaction to traffic enforcement cameras. Even if the NYPD were totally onboard with traffic enforcement (lol) they can't be everywhere all the time.

That's how lots of other global cities have effectively reduced traffic accidents/fatalities... camera enforcement for tons of driving infractions like speeding, running reds, illegal turns, blocking intersections, etc.
