It seems nobody follows the traffic rules in New York. Here in Arizona, that is a big deal.

[@sielsm3743]

perhaps the traffic moves so slow that it doesn't rly matter, since the risk of crashing is slim, plus everyone does it, it would certainly suck to be a cop in that traffic too.

[@esl4058]

@esl4058 1 second ago I’m an electrician who has to drive a van loaded up with tools to job sites. I can tell you that most people on the road not only obey the traffic laws but encourage others to. Whenever you see a car doing something crazy or reckless it’s almost always a cab or a bike. Contrary to what movies show, most cabs in NYC today are not yellow but look like regular cars. You can spot them by their license plates which always start with a T and end with a C (Taxi Cab). Cabs are notoriously awful on the road and bikers do whatever they want. As a pedestrian you have to constantly keep an eye out for bikes even more so then the cars.

Having spent a lot of time in Chicago, Dallas, Denver and Los Angeles (ohh, St. Louis and Atlanta also), the driving in NYC us unlike anything else in America. After one particularly brutal trip across Manhattan, I realized that this isn't road tripping - it's more like combat driving. Or urban road warfare. Attention all road warriors.

Must be crazy living near such a busy highway that has no noise barrier - the constant noise would absolutely drive me crazy!

[@ct6852]

My sister lived on a busy street in SF for a while. She said the noise actually helped her sleep after a while. Said it was weird to come back home to our town where it was totally silent after 1 am.

[@MikaelMahsudjan]

@@ct6852 They say that if you grew up in a noisy environment, then noise is gonna help, but if you grew up in silence, then it's gonna be stressful

[@jarivuorinen3878]

@@MikaelMahsudjan Could be, some people actually use white noise machines to help falling asleep but it's not generally recommended to keep those on for extended periods of time, like overnight. Noise pollution is shown to be real health hazard in multiple studies, but so is insomnia on the other hand, and these hazards don't depend on personal preference.

[@MikaelMahsudjan]

@@jarivuorinen3878 i get what you mean but in this case apparently if you have adapted to the certain noise(living next to train station?), meaning you were born and lived there your formidable years - then you are so used to that noise, that when you move away to a quiet location and try to sleep, you cannot because there isn't that noise your whole being was adapted to. So quiet is stressful until you get adapted to quiet, but that might take some time in example I have given. I for example cannot sleep with slightest of noise because I got used to dead silence growing up in village. City is never that quiet. I use earplugs whole day because the less noise there is the less stressed I feel.

[@MrEddy-bm3eo]

Some remarks: - Amazing to see so many above ground power lines (on surface streets in the Bronx). That doesn't exist anymore in (larger) European cities. - The streets are sometimes in bad shape. - Most drivers are remarkably relaxed. - When you live in NYC you have to spent a large part of your life in slow-moving traffic (or in crowded trains).

[@amandeepv]

That’s why people are leaving I heard and I’m from London uk

[@SelfReflective]

There is a reason why there aren't mice as large as elephants. As size grows, so does the shape and the layout of the animal. The same is valid for countries and cities. It would be prohibitively expensive to lay power cables underground in city (or country) that is much more spaced out.

[@MrEddy-bm3eo]

@@SelfReflective NYC is more densely populated than most European cities. So, per capita, underground cables are cheaper in NYC than in most European cities.

[@SelfReflective]

@@MrEddy-bm3eo No, that's not the point. It's not like NYC is going to have a completely different paradigm than the rest of the US.

[@MrEddy-bm3eo]

@@SelfReflective Manhattan already has underground power lines. The Bronx can do better. Above ground power lines in parts of a city as dense as NYC is what I called amazing.

While I live in Europe, I think this is something to be said about not only New York City, but North America in general. Namely that your towns, cities and endless suburbias are like living organisms with the number of stores being higher per capita, the traffic more severe, but also more motional and as you say, there’s something going on and to pay attention for at every street. My experience in Europe is that our urban areas and street life are generally more stagnant and sterile in comparison
