The residents interviewed identify this street and intersection as dangerous, and emphasize that drivers constantly blast through traffic signals. Traffic violence needs to be a priority mayoral issue.

Iβd peep the NYC ones in person first.
So, at the beginning of my Air France flight, among the regular crew π€ announcements about safety, seat belts etc., they said, βplease do not film or take photos of other passengers without their consent.β This is new; I hadnβt heard this before. That it even needs to be said..
