Shown here are pedestrian and biker fatalities, Harlem, 1995 &#8211; 2009.<\/p>\n<p>The site plots every crash recorded by the N.Y. State Department of Transportation since 1995 that involved a pedestrian or a bicyclist. Blue dots are pedestrian crashes, red are bicycle crashes, and the black stars\u2013intentionally bold and eye catching\u2013 mark fatalities.<\/p>\n<p>The site is extremely interactive allowing viewers to probe the database using any number of criteria: \u00a0how many crashes have happened by year, by type of car, age of person hit, contributing factor,\u00a0by neighborhood, community board, City Council district, NYPD precinct, a variety of geographic and political boundaries. You can also filter the crashes\u00a0 by contributing factors like age of pedestrian, or type of vehicle, of if speeding was involved. \u00a0It also lets you see that crossing the street is getting safer in New York. \u00a0Much of the data comes from the\u00a0NYPD, which was ordered by a court to begin releasing crash data each month starting in June.<\/p>\n<p>According to Transportation Alternatives Executive Director Paul Steeley: \u00a0\u201cBy\u00a0revealing where and why motor vehicle crashes occur, CrashStat gives all New Yorkers the information they need to demand better enforcement of our traffic laws&#8221;. \u00a0He further states that speeding and failing to yield are the top most dangerous traffic behaviors of motorists, so that\u2019s where he\u2019d like to see enforcement focused.<\/p>\n<p>This is a must have resource for any and everyone living in or visiting Harlem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CrashStat\u00a0by Transportation Alternatives\u00a0provides an interactive map of NYC&#8217;s most dangerous intersections.
