a couple of weeks ago the radio mentioned the mayor is proposing remote control taffic light system to ease up traffic gridlock when necessary and bring in hi-tech business to nyc. I don't know how well it can serve the purpose. I think the major congestion problems is created by below.

1. Has anyone notice the major traffic congestion is created by pedestrian, pedi cab and illegal livery pick up? pedestrian is not suppose to cross when the red hand signal are blinking, this is same a yellow light to turn red. they had their chance to cross ont he green walk signal. they do not even consider to give a chance to any vehical to make the turn, if vehical pass thru a yellow light, and will be summon as steady red. therefore, I think the J-walking law should be fully enforced. this will bring the city a tremendou amount of income each hour.

2. pedi cab breaking every traffic rule in the city, specially twist and turns between cars. it is the most dangerous thing in the city, I understand the remarking on the street lane is try to slow down the traffic on some wild drivers, it is very effective but using human shield to slow down traffic is absoulately dangerous.

3. During rush hour, the yellow cab is out numbered by the livery car service by 2 to 1. this mean there are at least 30,000 livery cab in the city during rush hour whether they pick up or not,
