  7. The Most Dangerous NYC Intersections

Transportation Alternatives, New York City’s advocates for traffic safety, recently identified fifty of the most dangerous intersections in NYC. The list is based upon the total number of pedestrian fatalities and injuries for the seven-year between 1995 and 2001. Keep in mind however, fatalities from accidents are down in 2008 and 2009 nationwide. Indeed, the total number of motor vehicle fatalities in 2008 was the lowest total since 1961.
