COVID-19 & Increased Speeding Tickets

While the state of New York, like other states, is forced to quarantine due to COVID-19 public health concerns, roads and highways are considerably empty. As a result, some drivers have taken this as an opportunity to drive a little bit faster, and even a little more recklessly, than they might otherwise operate in rush hour traffic.

High-speed driving and speeding rates in general have climbed during quarantine, raising concern among city and law enforcement officials. To give context, there were 24,765 speeding tickets on March 27th, up from 12,672 tickets issued daily a month earlier, according to city data.

Speeding ticket rates have doubled.

A New York Times article summarizes increased rush-hour speeds: The average speed from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. increased 85% to 46 miles per hour in Brooklyn. In Queens, it rose 84% to 49 miles per hour, and in the Bronx, 58% to 45 miles per hour, according to data from INRIX. The fastest average speed rose 34% to 58 miles per hour in Staten Island. Even the slowest average speed in Manhattan rose 49% to 25 miles per hour.
