The Most Dangerous NYC Intersections [ Back to Articles ]
August 2, 2009
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. Below is the list of dangerous New York City intersections: Rank Borough Intersection Fatalities Injuries

Testimonial
"You guys did a great job and, if I ever get another ticket, you will handle it."Joseph D. (NYC) "My son hired Matt to defend against 2 alleged speeding violations. In both cases, Matt's team was successful in getting the fines and points reduced. Would certainly use his services again in the event I give my son back the keys". Morris S (NYC) |
