Posted by Wakefield-241st Street on Tue Jul 26 08:00:18 2016, in response to What happened to the B44 thread?, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Jul 25 09:39:05 2016. reply to left turns and right of way by BrooklynBus hereAre drivers really being ticketed for not giving pedestrians the right of way and how is right of way being defined? Look it up here. You have 46 years worth of driving experience, you should know what right-of-way means. BTW, once a pedestrian legally (with the light in favor) steps onto the intersection, ummarked or marked crosswalk, the pedestrian has the right of way over all vehicles except active emergency vehicles. I also fail to see how restricting left turns and replacing them with right turns instead helps pedestrians. Left turns improve driver visibility and safety. On a left turn, the driver must focus on traffic in the opposite direction and pedestrians. On a right turn, the driver only focuses on pedestrians and bikes to the right. While it would yield an increase in right turn movements, the overall effect is improved traffic flow and reduction in left turn accidents. That's basic civil engineering 101 for you. Thus you do see a lot of new left turn bans in NYC. Get it? |
