New York is great for pedestrians and bicyclists<\/a> — you can walk or bike to almost anything you need, and it\u2019s hard to get truly lost (especially in Manhattan).\u00a0 But over 220,000 pedestrians and cyclists were injured in accidents on the city streets between 1995 and 2009, and 155 were killed in 2012 alone. \u00a0Just a few weeks ago, three pedestrians and a bicyclist died in separate accidents<\/a> over two days. \u00a0Here are some of New York City\u2019s most dangerous places to cross the street:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0 \u00a0 Broadway and West 96th Street, Manhattan<\/b><\/p>\n

\"96th-ambulance\"<\/p>\n

This intersection saw three fatalities over two days in January 2014.\u00a0 It also had 25 bicycle accidents between 1995 and 2009. \u00a0The city has worked aggressively at this intersection to limit jaywalking, one of the causes of the accidents, but drivers share the blame too.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0 \u00a0 Park Avenue and East 33rd Street, Manhattan\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"33rd-Park.jpg\"
LOOK! signs have been painted on the corner of 33rd and Park, but accidents still keep happening<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This corner saw 163 pedestrian crashes between 1995 and 2009, over 50 more than Manhattan\u2019s next-most dangerous.\u00a0 Just south of the Park Avenue tunnel, this is a corner to be avoided!<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0 \u00a0 Lexington Avenue and East 125th Street, Manhattan.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

\"ADDITION<\/p>\n

15 children were struck in 81 crashes here between 1995 and 2009, more than anywhere else in Manhattan.\u00a0 Traffic volume, sidewalk overcrowding, the large number of buses, and subway-related crowds all contribute \u2013 but little has been done to address the problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0 \u00a0 Utica Avenue and Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

\"Crown<\/p>\n

There were 141 pedestrian crashes here between 1995 and 2009 — plus a frightening hit-and-run accident<\/a> this past December and a shooting in 2012.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0 \u00a0 Webster Avenue and East Fordham Road, Bronx. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"Webster<\/p>\n

New York Magazine\u2019s pick for the worst intersection in New York<\/a> finishes up our list.\u00a0 Eroded lane markers and crosswalks — and a 70-foot-wide street with no median — contributed to making this New York\u2019s most dangerous intersection by accident count in 2008. \u00a0There were 123 crashes involving pedestrians between 1995 and 2009, as well as a scary hit-and-run in 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For your safety, follow all traffic laws and avoid jaywalking — and be especially careful about crossing against the light or mid-block. \u00a0You don\u2019t want to be the next statistic!<\/p>\n
