“New York City has announced a crackdown on cyclists’ use of Central Park. Tickets are being issued for “running” red lights, regardless of the time or whether pedestrians or cars are present. For decades, thousands of cyclists have chosen to ride in Central Park when it is closed to cars and when pedestrian traffic is minimal for their commute, recreation, or fitness. All Park users – cyclists, runners, dog walkers, skaters, & pedestrians – have traditionally proceeded through traffic signals with general safety, and all have been able to share uninterrupted use of the roads regardless of the time of day.”
Please sign this petition with hopes that the traffic lights in Central Park will be set to blinking yellow during off-peak hours.
nyc! put your money elsewhere!!!
