As spring in New York brings more cyclists and pedestrians onto the streets, the risk of deadly collisions rises, as seen in several recent tragic incidents. The Department of Transportation (DOT) acknowledges this concern but asserts that it has taken significant measures to enhance roadway safety, notably through the installation of extensive protected bike lanes. These lanes have proven to lower pedestrian injuries and deaths, highlighting the ongoing efforts to prioritize public safety amid increasing traffic.
"NYC DOT has seen a historically low number of traffic fatalities since the start of this year and will continue to put the safety of New Yorkers at the heart of all agency work."
"Protected bike lanes reduce pedestrian deaths and serious injuries by nearly 30% because they shorten crossing distances and improve visibility."
