Car Alarm Hell 
Transportation Alternatives is conducting a campaign to have car alarms banned in New York City. That campaign has focused attention on the fact that car alarms degrade our quality of life but don't actually stop thiefs from stealing cars. As it stands now, city law prohibits alarms that sound for more than three minutes. So if an alarm goes off for longer than three minutes, you can call and have the car towed away. That should solve the problem of never-ending alarms, right? Not necessarily. As we all know, a lot of non-theft events cause a car alarm to sound for its three minutes. An errant football, a loud passing motorcycle or garbage truck, or, for the beleagured residents of upper Park Avenue, the passing of an elevated commuter train can all cause an alarm to go off. The viaduct above Park Avenue north of 97th Street is one of the busiest rail corridors in the country. On a typical weekday, Metro-North runs 527 scheduled trains along these rails. From the perspective of someone living at 116th Street and Park Avenue, these trains are the 12:01 a.m. to Southeast, the 12:08 a.m. to Poughkeepsie, the 12:14 a.m. to Grand Central Terminal, the

Terminal. These are the 527 opportunities for a meaningless alarm to be tripped. Imagine the misery of someone who had to listen to 3 minutes of unnecessary whooping sirens after each of these trains passed. There would be hours between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. and again between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. when the alarms would seemingly never end. The noise wouldn't end until three minutes after the 1:39 a.m. trains to New Haven and Southeast rumbled over the viaduct. That's 1:42 a.m. - Posted at 10:41 PM | Permalink | Comments: 0 | Post a Comment | |
