This 'Clock' Will Count Every NYC Traffic Death Under Mayor De Blasio
Now that de Blasio is in charge, a grassroots group that works to stop traffic deaths and push back "against driver entitlement" is trying to keep the new mayor's promise to "reduce serious injuries and fatalities" caused by traffic accidents "to zero" by 2024.
Right of Way has created a "Vision Zero Clock" to keep count of pedestrian, cyclist, and car occupant deaths, and whether or not the city is on track to meet de Blasio's goal. It will also announce each death on its Twitter account, @VisionZeroClock.
More than 250 people are killed in traffic accidents in New York City every year, according to Right of Way.
Here's how the clock looks now:
