Last weekend, mayor bill de Blasio announced his plan to reduce traffic on the roads of new York, which is directly contrary to that recently proposed by Governor Cuomo.
Instead of directly to collect taxes from drivers in Manhattan and make the toll bridges over the East river toll, the mayor wants to restrict delivery to the house in the most congested areas of the city and begin to deal with the violation of rules of Parking.
In the town centre will be directed more than 110 additional employees of Department on control over safety. They will work on 11 main streets, and will punish careless drivers throwing their cars in the wrong places. In addition, in January, the city launched the pilot program, which will deny boarding passengers in cars on sidewalks from 7 am to 10 am and from 4 PM to 7 PM in some of the busiest areas of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.
But the focus of the mayor’s plan is paid to drivers who get stuck in intersections after changing the traffic signal. In order to reduce such cases by 50 key intersections throughout the city will have special marking and signage. In addition, in the framework of cooperation of the city authorities with the Police Department of new York city, 50 police officers will ensure compliance with all rules and raise awareness about this campaign.
According to the plan, the city will also work with task groups to work on the reduction of congestion on motorways in the city. The idea would seem good, but usually such initiatives are not moving more than a few sentences, is feasible only on paper.
