Reply to comment by dorgsmack in Traffic study by former head of NYC DOT reveals what he says is ultimate cause of congestion by HEIMDVLLR

I agree, but the whole point is to stop congestion. This does little to help it.

There's already lines of cars 5 roads deep in transit deserts in Brooklyn. "Respect" isn't going to do anything to help.

Not only that, they enforce fines in ways that make them the most money. Just like that camera they put right off the ramp of Shore Parkway to catch everyone who was actually doing highway speed.

And similarly, putting school zone cameras in effect 24/7. There is no good reason why anyone needs to be going 15mph on Saturday at midnight.

Maybe not, but if there’s other illegal actions that are making congestion worse, then pull people over and fine them. Might be too logical for the bureaucrats though.

I agree with you. Paper plates are a big one though and not caught by cameras.

Then make it so the first 2 or 3 violations get tossed out.

I admit I speed all the fucking time but I pay the fine if I get a ticket.

The lawlessness in the city just has to stop. If we need to start impounding cars, then so be it.

I'm with you on all accounts, but I don't think it would be implemented in a reasonable way.

We have infrastructure issues way beyond lawlessness. Transforming Ocean Parkway like I mentioned in other comments would be a great start.
