NYPD records show 58 people — including pedestrians — died in car crashes through April 3.
Some traffic experts blamed a reduction in NYPD enforcement, leading to vehicular “chaos” in the streets.
“Drivers know there’s very little anyone is going to do, no matter what they do, how they drive. … We’re not even treating traffic rules as guidelines anymore. It’s a free for all,” Orcutt said. “It needs to start with the police. They need to claw back this idea that you can do whatever you want in a car in New York.”
The recent deaths are “most prevalent … during the overnight hours” on highways uptown, and in The Bronx, The NYPD said in a statement, adding the department’s Highway Unit plans to increase enforcement. “We recognize that the NYPD has a finite amount of resources and continually employs precision policing to traffic enforcement,” the department continued.
