Someone in the NYC's DOT has been on a PR juggernaut with "Vizion Zero." I'm guessing this has been really good for someone's career there. The reality is that NYC does almost zero to enforce cars respecting pedestrian in cross walks at present. You will never see a driver getting a ticket for blocking a cross walk even the MTA bus drivers do this as a matter of course. Similarly you will never see someone being ticket for entering a cross with pedestrians it. As the traffic has worsened, if anything drivers have become more brazen in their behavior and their cavalier attitudes toward pedestrians. While I applaud the effort described in this post I think it's important to temper these PR pieces with reality. And the reality is safety enforced along multiple axis and there doesn't seem to be very many of those at the moment.
