Robert Moses would not like that at all. He thought he could evade laws of physics and keep large masses of people moving in cars at 50 MPH, regardless of how many there were doing so at a time.Whatever Robert Moses' effect on today's life, one thing he did not encourage was people moving in cars at 50 mph. The speed limit Moses set for his parkways was 35 mph in NYC and 40 mph in Nassau and Suffolk. Moses also believed in strict enforcement of these speed limits. You might wish to consult an article he wrote in the Jan 4, 1953 issue of the NY Times Magazine. Its title was "To Turn Back The Killer, Speed." His opinion had not changed by 1958. He was recorded as being against raising the minimum permitted local speed limit from 20 mph to 30 mph. NY Times - 18 Oct 1958. The reason for Mr. Moses' opposition is stated in the title of his 1953 article. |
