Finally, a new 14-month study confirms the fact that people who live on extremely noisy, highly trafficked streets are less friendly towards their neighbors than people who live on quiet, low trafficked streets.
New Yorkers who live on blocks with heavy traffic are less friendly toward their neighbors and more likely to stay indoors than those who live on quieter streets, according to the report by the advocacy group Transportation Alternatives.
They also get less sleep and have more trouble enjoying a television show or a family meal.
Dubbed “Traffic’s Human Toll,” the 14-month study zeroed in on a range of residential blocks in four neighborhoods in order to measure the effect all that honking and exhaust has on quality of life.
The study found that 49 percent of the people interviewed said less traffic would “totally improve” their quality of life. On heavier-traffic streets, the percentage rose to 62 percent.
The next study plans on proving that people that live next to an El train are more likely to pop a cap in their neighbor’s ass for looking at them wrong.
