14% fewer injuries in the zone and 45% fewer noise complaints is kinda wild
Noise complains?
Like I get that people call in to complain about a neighbor who is playing loud music. Do people call in to complain about someone honking as they pass your apartment too? Why? How could that do any good?
Dunno about NYC but I complain about traffic noise in the surveys that my city sends on occasion.
Ah, surveys make more sense than calling the cops to report noise. Thanks.
You might have to live on a busy street in NYC to understand. Ride share drivers in particular will just LAY on the horn for many tens of seconds, even minutes straight.
When you're NYC and you haven't figured out that we should get rid of a lot of public (free!) parking spots for delivery and loading zones, you wind up with a lot of double and triple parking.
Combine those two things, you'll get noise complaints about honking. Seriously, you have no idea how bad it can be!
I lived in NYC and didn't experience that. I heard that hasn't been an issue since uber.
Maybe if they get enough complaints, they'll improve the streets?
Like sound dampening asphalt (for tyre noise).
