I certainly do not advocate reckless driving and have often spoke out against that practice. What I have stated is that lowering the speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph has zero affect on reckless driving which is the cause of many accidents as is turning without taking due care. Neither is related to a ridiculous artificially low speed default sped limit of 25 mph. If a specific streets needs to have a 25, 20, 15 or 10 mph speed limit, by all means do that. But it is insane to lower the speed limit on former 30 and 35 mph arterial streets to 25 mph.Lowering the speed limit on Woodhaven from 35 to 30 and what will be 25 mph slows down buses during the off-peak and costs the MTA extra money. So we need to spend $200 million just so buses can travel as fast as they previously did before the speed limit was lowered after SBS id implemented? Just insane. I am definitely not an automobile advocate over an advocate for public transportation. Just read the hundreds of pro-mass transit articles I wrote and the largest bus route improvements in NYC history I designed and tirelessly fought to get implemented. I am for treating everyone's needs equally, and not ignoring the needs of one segment of the population as DOT is doing. |
