“Mayor Bill de Blasio’s absolutely ridiculous ‘Vision Zero’ plan seeks to reduce traffic deaths to zero by drastically increasing police enforcement. It’s delusional to think that fatal accidents could ever be fully eliminated, no matter how many police officers or enforcement cameras there are on the streets. It’s not unlike trying to totally eliminate bathtub falls by putting a police officer or a camera in every bathroom. Jaywalkers in particular have been singled out for extra attention by the police in ‘Vision Zero.’ Consider the story of Kang Wong, an 84-year-old man who was recently stopped for jaywalking near Broadway and 96th Street at around 5 in the evening.”
