Report on information regarding compliance and non-compliance with Chapter 7 of Title 19 of the NYC Adm. Code. Includes violations, fines complaints, and litigation; and descriptions of safety and training procedures implemented pursuant to Ad. Code 17-708.
In 1988, the New York State Legislature passed a law to allow cities with a population of one million or more to establish a demonstration program to install traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring systems (red light cameras), which captures images of vehicles going through red light signals at traffic intersections. New York City used this authorization to launch the nation's first program in 1994. The success of red light cameras in enhancing public safety throughout the five boroughs has led to the City's continued interest in additional expansion. Further increasing the total number of red light cameras the City is allowed to use will make this public safety tool even more effective.
This report presents vehicular volumes and historical comparisons across the Bronx-Westchester, Queens-Nassau, Manhattan-New Jersey, Staten Island-New Jersey, and Brooklyn-Queens screenlines.
Since 1948, DOT has monitored traffic flow on 47 bridges operated by the City of New York. This report summarizes vehicular volumes, classification data, and trends for the 47 bridges that cross over water, as well as the nine bridges and tunnels operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the six bridges and tunnels operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
This report, published annually by DOT since 1972, presents vehicular volumes, classification, and trends for all bridge and tunnel facilities serving Manhattan.
In response to community requests for bicycle and pedestrian improvements on the Pulaski Bridge, DOT proposes building a new bicycle path on the bridge adjacent to the existing shared path. The design includes a new barrier to protect bicyclists from motor vehicles. This proposed path would double the space on the bridge dedicated to bicyclists and pedestrians, enhance safety by separating those two modes and improve access to Long Island City subway stations for Brooklyn residents.
NYCDOT's Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) are devices affixed to pedestrian signal poles to assist blind or low vision pedestrians in crossing the street. As required by law, DOT issues an annual report on the status of the APS program.
