NYC traffic and cycling is in a state of transition. Only now, after years of advocacy, are we starting to get the NYPD to even think about enforcing traffic laws, and likewise it took tons of work to get even a limited number of speed enforcement cameras to ticket drivers going over 10mph over the speed limit.
