    Which directions were these cars going? How did this happen? Did someone pass a red light? Speed alone will not cause a collision.

  • Traffic calm

    An accident after the “traffic calm”
    I think there are a a little less accidents,

    But 1- why did they pick and choose where to put a pedestrian island. why does’nt Kingston and albany get one?

    2- Boruch Hashem bikers realized the big danger of dirving a bike on a street with cars, I hope the few people that use it wont get hurt.

    I hope everyone is OK!

    the 2 most annoying drivers are the “Nissan Maxima’s” and teh “Taxi’s”.
    Taxis think their the only drivers,
    Maximas drive like idiots.

    Thank G-d it wasn’t Jewish drivers and Black cars parked-there would have been a riot.
