On April 1st, New York City (NYC) Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Act into law. It requires the NYC Department of Transportation to analyze the city’s most dangerous intersections, recommend preventative countermeasures, and take steps to implement them. This will prevent scores of injuries and save dozens of lives each year. Currently crash data shows that 50% of all pedestrian-related crashes occur at just 10% of all intersections.
