The new emphasis on speeding is part of Mayor de Blasio’s “Vision Zero” plan. This effort intends to completely eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024. There were 286 people killed in traffic related accidents in New York City last year. According to Chief Thomas Chan, the head of the NYPD’s Transportation Bureau, officers are already being trained on how to use the radar guns. However, some are skeptical about the new speeding enforcement effort. Council Member Chaim Deutsch suggested at the City Council committee meeting that some cops were already overzealous in pulling over drivers in his district.
