The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
We don’t usually lead our daily newsletter with our daily headlines post, but we are today because it features a crucial assignment for members of the mainstream press: Please go to today’s demonstration of “speed-limiter technology” that state Sen. Andrew Gounardes is doing in Brooklyn.
As you recall, Gounardes has, for years, been trying to mandate the installation of speed governors in the cars of the very worst of the worst drivers — drivers who rack up 16 speed-camera tickets in a year!
Today at 11:30, he’ll show just how sensible this technology is because all it does is make drivers do what they’re supposed to be doing already: drive the speed limit!
If that’s not enough to entice you, the best babka in the city is two blocks away at a bakery called Yardsale.
