The unexpected object in the middle of the highway just after midnight caused a 'multi-vehicle collision' on the northbound lanes of the 110 Freeway near Adams Boulevard.

The real problem is infrastructure, not vehicle safety. Roadways are open systems with infinite variables—weather, pedestrians, distracted drivers, and aging infrastructure. Communication between vehicles is minimal, and infrastructure is largely silent—and in that gap lies the potential for deadly collisions.

FDNY crews dumped the burning load into the middle of the street, where firefighters spread out the debris to contain the blaze.

The larger share of the order consists of 200 Scania intercity buses equipped with CNG fuel systems designed for extended range, allocated to services within the Paris region.

"If we can get more folks off all the roads and their personal vehicles and use the safer service which our stats show, at least in our service in the cities where we operate, we are contributing to less crashes," Anthony Perez, Waymo's northeast policy manager, stated.

"Fuel use increases significantly at higher speeds, so even a relatively small reduction can result in noticeable savings," he stated. He added that lowering motorway speeds could improve fuel efficiency by around 10%, depending on the vehicle.

MTA workers are illegally parking on sidewalks outside a transit complex in Astoria, with some leaving MTA-branded high-visibility vests on their dashboards, seemingly to avoid tickets.

A state judge has ruled that every red-light ticket written to a cyclist under the state's vehicle and traffic law since 2019 is bogus. The city legalized the practice of biking through a red light on a pedestrian 'walk' signal, yet NYPD cops have been wrongly writing tickets for cyclists who go through the 'red' on the walk signal.

Because so many American cities are so heavily car-dependent, most U.S. residents have no choice but to pony up the cash and drive anyway. Indeed, even when gas prices climbed above $5 a gallon in 2022, driving did not plummet; a Time magazine analysis at the time found that 'the only time that fuel consumption really took a hit in the last 23 years was during the pandemic.'
