The intersection of Cadman Plaza West, Old Fulton Street and Vine Street is a hectic one indeed. And without a good traffic cop to orchestrate the rush hour, things could get out of hand. Check out YouTube user sudarabajan22’s video of this NYPD traffic maestro in action.

    I see this fellow almost every day and he makes me smile. Huge tourist attraction as well. I know that he loves the attention, and it’s nice to see someone enjoying themselves while performing a physically demanding job.

    Reality is Here, thanks for the update, But as far as my dancing feet are concerned, Mr. Brown dies with me.

    Does anyone remember when Candid Camera had a clip of a cop “dancerecting” traffic? I think it was early 70’s or maybe late 60’s…
