NYPD Traffic Ops Division

Enforcement of mopeds🛵 are being conducted to address community complaints of illegal and unregistered two-wheel vehicles. Thank you to the @NYPD113Pct and others involved in assisting to help remove the unregistered two-wheel vehicles and cleaning up our Queens streets.

Due to multiple 311 complaints concerning unregistered/uninsured vehicles & occupied RVs & trailers, we partnered with other agencies to remove these vehicles and RVs near Northern Blvd in Queens. Thank you to everyone involved in this initiative. You 🗣️ we 👂🏼

Last night in a joint effort with @NYPD42Pct and @NYCSanitation, we removed 2️⃣5️⃣ unregistered and abandoned vehicles from the streets. Let's be sure all vehicles on the streets are properly registered. Great job by everyone involved!

🚧UPCOMING CLOSURE🚧 The Queens-bound BQE will be fully closed from Atlantic Ave - Sands St from Sat, 4/13 at 2am to Mon, 4/15 at 4am. Travelers are strongly encouraged to avoid the BQE during scheduled closures. Please review the detour routes & expect extended travel times.

We 👂 the complaints from the residents about commercial vehicles parking in residential areas. Last Friday, we deployed 4️⃣ Barnacle Devices in Queens for these violators parked in residential areas. Thank you to all involved in this initiative.

Tonight was the NYPD's 1st deployment of a windshield boot aka the "Barnacle Device." It's used to immobilize vehicles violating parking regulations. This allows us to hold those accountable, reduce parking congestion & address cars that are a nuisance & hazard to the community.

We are continuing the enforcement for mopeds that are unregistered and being driven recklessly, putting pedestrians and others at risk. Please ensure they are registered and insured. Please stay out of the bicycle lanes.

We were back in the @NYPD114Pct this week for multiple complaints of unregistered and abandoned vehicles taking up precious parking space. With the help of @NYCSanitation, we removed 2️⃣9️⃣ unregistered or abandoned vehicles. Great job to everyone involved! You 🗣️ we 👂

Slowing down and moving over isn't only for emergency vehicles. It is now law in NYS that all drivers take precautions, including slowing down and moving over, to avoid a crash with any vehicle stopped along the roadway.

Our hearts are heavy for the loss of one of our own - Police Officer Jonathan Diller. We will #neverforget the sacrifice he made to protect the people & ensure the city was safe-a true hero. Our thoughts & prayers go out to his family, loved ones, and brothers & sisters in blue
