When are drivers going to get pissed off enough to make themselves a political issue? If every driver in NY Metro (in NYS) voted against Hochul she'd be gone, and her replacement would be much more car friendly. Then we could rescind a lot of this anti car bullchit (congestion pricing, too slow speed limit, all camera based traffic enforcement, use of toll money for mass transit, etc., etc.).

"But I can't vote against her. NPR and the NYT tell me her opponent is icky and won't let me get an abortion even though I'm menopausal." Typical Dem voter.
Until they get pissed off enough about other issues.

Speeding is no longer a common problem. You rarely see cars go past even the 50mph speed limit on the highways. Majority of Uber drivers are afraid to get violations which can cause them to lose their ability to drive with Uber.
If they lower the speed limits even more it will slow down traffic entering and exiting manhattan which will reduce the amount of tolls collected. I really don't feel like driving in manhattan at all because it's too congested and there's nothing much I need to do.
Other than restaurants, office visits, there's nothing left to do. Eventually these restaurants will get so expensive that it's not worth going in.
That could be the kind of night just for a simple dinner.
They don’t care. All they care is that a study showed that there will be an X% increase in speeding violation camera tickets which will generate more revenue for the city.
The city and politicians don’t even pretend anymore that this is about safety.
This proposal coincidentally came about when the city is having budget issues. Just a coincidence.
