"Families for Safe Street", which is a group organized by the people who lost their loved ones in traffic accidents, is actively working to raise awareness of the importance of safer streets. Ryo's family does not live in New York, so they cannot be involved in the activity much, but they are honored to take part in the group.
Early this month, more than 150 people got together in Albany to collect the petition to pass the 20MPH law. The day ended very successfully. If you have not signed the petition yet, the electronic petition is available for you. Please take two minutes to go over and sign your name.
Because of their great effort, the awareness of street safety has raised in the city of New York. Here is an article from New York Times about traffic accidents. It is shocking to know that there are so many accidents in the city of New York and how survivors are suffering from their traumatic experience. More than 70,000 New Yorkers are injured in traffic accidents each year. The petition is to ask for 20MPH as the speed limit in the city of New York. Isn't 20 plenty in a such busy city like in New York? And isn't it worth it to slow down, so as to not hit anyone on the street? The person who gets injured or fatally struck on the street is always someone's precious family, friend or lover.
