The NYC Department of Transportation is set to redesign major intersections to enhance safety for both pedestrians and cyclists. This initiative will utilize a hardened daylighting approach, which includes physical barriers and planters to clear visibility at corners. With nearly half of traffic fatalities occurring at intersections, the redesign aims to prevent crashes and improve interactions between vehicles and non-motorized road users. The rollout of this plan is scheduled for 2025, initially targeting high-crash locations in Brooklyn, reflecting areas previously lacking investment in safe infrastructure.
DOT officials state that nearly 50% of all traffic fatalities occur in intersections, prompting new designs aimed at enhancing visibility for all road users.
