Recent statistics from Manhattan indicate a significant improvement in traffic safety following the implementation of congestion pricing. In the initial 12 days, crashes decreased by 55%, and injuries dropped by 51% compared to the same period in the previous year. This trend suggests that fewer vehicles on the road may lead to safer conditions. However, officials caution against premature conclusions and intend to continue monitoring safety trends related to congestion pricing moving forward, emphasizing the importance of sustained safety measures in urban traffic management.
The city has recorded a 51-percent drop in injuries and a 55-percent drop in crashes in the first 12 days of congestion pricing.
Officials are cautious, stating it's too early for conclusions regarding the long-term safety effects of congestion pricing.
