Police Begin Pedicab License Enforcement

Police this weekend began pulling over pedicab drivers to see if they and their vehicles are licensed.

Police on Saturday set up a checkpoint in Times Square to see which pedicab drivers are in compliance with new regulations.

Friday was the deadline for operators to apply for medallions.

The medallions signify the pedicabs have been inspected, are safe, and have posted rate cards.

Police say 943 pedicabs were registered before Friday's deadline.

So far, more than 300 drivers have applied for licenses.
