NYC’s walking, cycling and public transportation advocacy group, Transportation Alternatives, has released an eye-opening public report with the NYPD targeted squarely in its sights.

After studying four diverse city-wide intersections for 38 hours dozens of volunteers from the group helped release a report with suggestions to the NYPD as to how they can bring “Chaos to Compliance.”

The group studied the intersections at 96th Street and Broadway, Manhattan, 73rd Street and Roosevelt Avenue, Queens, Smith Street and 9th Street, and Prospect Place and Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn – which were selected based on factors like the “existence of all major transportation modes at the site, including subway and/or bus access, car and pedestrian traffic” and “high vehicle and pedestrian traffic at the site.”

Among the group’s recommendations: The NYPD should identify the 50 most-crash prone intersections and monitor them and launch traffic violation complaints by 311.

Finally, if the report itself isn’t enough to wake the NYPD up, the groups claim that in the 38 hour period, the NYPD missed out on $478,645 in potential fines. And we know the NYPD likes fines.
