The Eagle has an article this morning about how a number of Brooklyn neighborhoods are interested in implementing slow zones—where the maximum speed that cars are allowed to go is 20 miles per hour, and measures like speed bumps are also put into place—on their streets. Those neighborhoods include Park Slope, Greenpoint, Prospect Heights, Boerum Hill and Brooklyn Heights, and residents in those areas are eager to see slow zones on the majority of streets. The story notes that big thoroughfares like Flatbush and 4th Avenue wouldn’t be included in the zones. The new regulations are meant to reduce pedestrian injuries. They would theoretically deter some drivers from using streets in residential neighborhoods and instead keep them on highways and other high-traffic roadways. The DOT is going to decide where slow zones will be implemented later this month.

why dont parents teach their children how to cross a street properly. parents should also teach there children not to dart out in front of traffic. stop trying to implement laws to watch and raise your children and do it yourselves.
Why doesn’t the state teach its drivers how to drive properly? Drivers should realize they’re solely responsible for their behavior behind the wheel. Start driving your 2-ton chunk of metal with care and attention – do it yourself.
