## Zero traffic deaths in ten years
Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled "Vision Zero Reimagined" on Tuesday, a 104-page blueprint to wipe out traffic deaths in New York City within a decade.
## Pedestrian zones with no map
The plan leans on expanding car-free zones and "pedestrian-priority districts," but never says where they go or how much of the city they would cover.

> pedestrian-priority districts
## Make driving less appealing
Whole neighborhoods would drop to 20 mph, and the city is looking at higher tolls for oversized passenger cars.

> providing disincentives to private automobile trips, ownership and on-street storage
## Super Speeders get governors
A first-of-its-kind program would force drivers with 16 or more speed camera tickets in a single year to install speed-limiting devices in their cars.
## School zones behind schedule
The administration promised 15 mph limits in 800 school zones this year. City officials admit only 200 are done so far.
## A 2014 promise, retried
De Blasio launched Vision Zero in 2014 with 252 deaths and a pledge of none by 2024. Transportation Alternatives staged a summer die-in demanding Mamdani update it.
## Key takeaway

The plan's hard edges are speed enforcement and intersection fixes; the car-free zones and neighborhood speed limits are still just intentions.
