The streets of the Big Apple can often be a dangerous place for pedestrians and drivers alike. The city is aiming to take action and has urged pedestrians to wear brighter clothes, especially during certain hours of the day. New York has become one of the most popular cities in the United States and has attracted millions of outsiders to the city, all in search of fame and fortune. However, the result of this influx of people has made New York one of the most densely populated cities<\/strong> anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Overcrowded city streets can often lead to a dangerous situation in NYC<\/h2>\n

The city already has a huge amount of cars and pedestrians on the streets, and add to that the annual influx of people when the end of the year comes around, and the situation becomes intolerable for most residents. Thankfully, there are a few measures that can be undertaken by both drivers and pedestrians alike to make traveling around the iconic Big Apple that little bit safer this year.<\/p>\n

For drivers, the answer to reducing traffic collisions is almost obvious: simply reducing the speed at which you drive around the streets of New York can drastically reduce the odds<\/strong> of getting into a crash. Data reveals that the vast majority of accidents happen at intersections, so be sure to check your speed and keep on the lookout for any pedestrians trying to cross the road like the proverbial chicken.<\/p>\n

New speed limits have come into effect in New York State recently<\/h3>\n

The state of New York has implemented a new speed limit that is designed to reduce the annual traffic collisions that skyrocket this time of the year. The situation reached a tipping point when New York hosted the UN General Assembly and created several dedicated bike lanes for the residents to use instead of driving their cars around.<\/p>\n

Logic dictates the evolution of mankind, so use it if you have it<\/h2>\n

The city has noted that any pedestrians should use the logic that was bestowed upon them to think clearly when walking around New York streets. Officials have urged pedestrians to remember that they have a shared responsibility with drivers<\/strong> to make the streets as safe as possible. So be sure to check both ways and double check again before crossing the road.<\/p>\n

One measure that the official statement on the NYC official website<\/a> outlines is to wear much brighter clothes, which will make pedestrians easily identifiable for drivers at intersections, which is where the city claims the vast majority of accidents take place. So pick out your most brightly colored shirt and pants and don your most colorful accessories when leaving the house or apartment to take a walk on New York’s iconic city streets.<\/p>\n

The state of New York has made a few changes to the points system<\/a> aimed at addressing the cars speeding through the city like they were in a Fast and Furious movie. Thanks to the swift action taken by the City of New York, both drivers and pedestrians can rest easier<\/strong> in the knowledge that their safety is being considered by city officials.<\/p>\n

Bring in the new year with a sense of occasion, knowing that safety is paramount in NYC<\/h2>\n

With the end of the year approaching at warp speed, drivers and pedestrians alike will be hoping to end the year with no accidents on their record. Thanks to the warnings issued by the City of New York<\/a><\/strong>, pedestrians now have a better understanding of their role in keeping the streets clear of traffic collisions. This year will see a litany of brightly colored pedestrians lining up on the streets of what some consider to be the greatest city in the world. Colors on the road drastically affect drivers ability<\/a>, so be sure to wear that bright Knicks away shirt when walking the streets of NYC this December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
