Was this 1.2 million “in 2007 and 2008″ or 1.2 million in 2007, and another 1.2 million in 2008 ?

Note also the piece in the Times a couple of days ago that showed that parking enforcement personnel pay for themselves many times over - same could be true for traffic enforcement if the NYPD had any interest in it.

Earlier, now apparently forgotten TA studies, found that the vast bulk of police speeding enforcement took place on highways, not streets. Also, NYMTC's 2008 hub bound travel shows about 7 million people -- not vehicles entering Manhattan South of 60th street everyday, roughly 2 million by car, truck, taxi van etc. If you add in Harlem Bridges and the GWB, you're still nowhere near 7 million vehicles entering Manhattan.
