Authorities in Philadelphia will announce the expansion of a traffic enforcement initiative that originally aimed to quell unruly drivers along one of the city's largest corridors. The 30-day traffic enforcement initiative was first announced in April, and targeted a roughly 9-mile stretch of North Broad Street from City Hall to Cheltenham Avenue. The plan, according to authorities, was in response to months worth of traffic violations.
Data shared by the Philadelphia Police Department stated that from April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, there were 1,601 crashes, 52 involving pedestrians, and 9 fatalities on the focused part of North Broad.The newest branch to the initiative, expected to be announced during a 1 p.m. press conference Monday, will pinpoint similarly troubled areas in the northeast and northwest parts of the city. This will include a 3.5-mile stretch of Castor Avenue from the 300 block to the 2600 block.
