So how are they going to make left turns on two way streets with heavy pedestrian traffic? It is essentially impossible to accomplish that in NYC without skirting the law to turn on red or impede on pedestrian space.
It is, and this is what they will have to do. A lot of left hand turns in NYC - even in the outer skirts of the four major boroughs - cannot be made until the light has turned red, requiring a "New York/Pittsburgh Left".
They will have to route the car around in a manner that allows it turn from the right in that intersection.
I imagine that at least most of the time it's possible to just drive a different route that takes more time.
Is it not?
