If you’re planning to park anywhere in New York City, get ready for more tickets. The latest class of traffic enforcement agents graduated yesterday. The 114 new agents will add to the 2,489 already walking the streets giving tickets and controlling traffic.

Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly, who presided over the graduation ceremonies, said “traffic fatalities were held to their lowest level since 1910.” The New York State Legislature in 2008 designated assaulting a traffic agent a felony crime punishable by up to seven years in prison.
