NYC’s New Law on Pedestrian Safety

In 2024, New York City passed new legislation focusing on pedestrian safety, including speed limits, redesigning crosswalks, and implementing more pedestrian plazas. This was in response to the high rate of pedestrian accidents in the city.

The law also mandates better lighting and visibility at crosswalks, aiming to reduce accidents by improving infrastructure. It’s a significant move towards reimagining city streets as shared spaces for all users.

This could set a precedent for pedestrian-centric urban policies elsewhere.
