Cops look to cut down on speeding on Belt Parkway, Shore Road
Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights residents are concerned about increased speeding on Shore Road and the Belt Parkway.
During a 68th Precinct Community Council meeting via Zoom in May, locals expressed their concerns on speeding in the area. One resident said motorists terrorize Shore Road, then loop around Belt Parkway’s Exit 1 and 2 every night and during the day. Drag racing is one of the causes, some of those attending the meeting said.
“We concentrate a lot of our efforts on Shore Road, especially at nighttime,” Capt. Andrew Tolson, the commanding officer of the 68th Precinct, said. “I will reiterate that to the platoon commander and my officers on the late tour to address any kind of speeding on Shore Road.”
