A report from Transportation Alternatives shows the most dangerous intersections across the city. They say there are 118 intersections where five or more New Yorkers have been killed or seriously injured in the past five years.
The report ranked Flatbush Avenue and Avenue H as one of the most dangerous and obstructed intersections in Brooklyn, with eight deaths or serious injuries since 2022.
People like Taniqua Watson say it's not surprising.
“Almost got into an accident the other day. It’s way too many lanes open, the traffic going crazy back and forth is ridiculous," said Watson.
Transportation Alternatives says other top-ranking dangerous intersections in Brooklyn include:
37th Street and 3rd Avenue
Ave H and Flatbush Avenue
Jamaica Avenue and Bushwick Avenue
Linden Boulevard
Ashford Street
Jack Greenwood, a research associate for Transportation Alternatives, worked on the report and says the organization is pushing for daylighting - removing parking around intersections - to resolve some of these dangers.
"So as you can see a little bit in this intersection right now, you do have cars parked up into the intersection, which makes things pretty dangerous for people who are trying to cross the street," said Greenwood.
Transportation Alternatives is pushing for legislation that would require universal daylighting at intersections across the city.
