In late January, New York City's Department of Transportation implemented a notable change on a 36-block stretch of Third Avenue, slowing down traffic lights from 25 mph to 15 mph. This adjustment is part of a broader initiative known as the 'green wave,' which has been in development for five years. The goal is to redesign urban streets that have traditionally favored vehicles, granting priority for green lights to cyclists. Officials believe this change will enhance safety for all road users along this two-mile stretch between 60th and 96th Streets.
The city reset traffic signals on Third Avenue from 25 mph to 15 mph, marking a significant shift in prioritizing cyclists over cars.
This change, part of the Department of Transportation's green wave experiment, aims to redesign streets dominated by vehicles for safer conditions.
