I don't oppose the slower traffic, except in that corridors like Fordham Rd and other examples in NY are choked by the bus lanes so that no one can get close to 25 MPH. What I don't like is that jaywalkers get a free pass at motorist's expense. I remember those cross at the green and not in between commercials in the 70s and the police that frowned at pedestrians crossing mid block and against red lights and that made a difference. You can throw your self via foot into traffic at driver's full monetary expense, including possible jail time for the driver. Its not a fair playing field where motorists, bikes and pedestrians can co-exist, NYC Department of Finance ends up winners every time |
