NEW YORK (VINnews) — New York City transportation officials announced Tuesday that the city will expand the use of street activity sensors to about 100 locations across the five boroughs as part of an effort to better understand traffic patterns and improve street safety.

The sensors, first tested in 2023 at 20 intersections, collect anonymous data on pedestrians, cyclists, buses and vehicles. Officials say the technology can measure speeds, turning movements and other traffic activity, helping planners identify potential safety concerns and evaluate street redesign projects.
According to the city, the sensors process video in real time and do not retain footage, with faces and license plates obscured to protect privacy.
Transportation officials said the data could help identify high-risk locations, improve transit access, better allocate street space and track changes in pedestrian and bicycle activity over time.
The additional sensors are expected to be installed along a variety of commercial and residential corridors throughout New York City.
One step closer to putting the ticket giving machines up in those spots.

All the easier for russia and China to hack in like israel did to Iran
billions spent on technology to tell you what you already know: use of cellphones is dangerous. a simple public service announcement teaching people to put away their phones in traffic would save more lives than all the “redesigns” ever could. at a fraction of the cost.

Government never does anything solely for the good of the public. Be assured they are merely looking for more ways to impose fines and fees on the responsible, hardworking population, in order to buy votes from the lazy masses with the money they steal from us
