But perhaps I could put in one of my own favorite hot-zones for honking: 60th and Second Ave. What I love about TOPP video segments is that video so objectively captures evidence that is undeniable. The dry level of service and 311 complaint statistics that the DOT or the city puts forward can never capture situations like the one above. Video captures all the various impacts of traffic like the high noise level, the view from a pedestrian's level of big buses passing them at 40 mph, the actual flow of people who put their lives at risk trying to cross the street.
