The intersection of Metropolitan and Union avenues has been identified as a site of significant safety concerns for pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists. The NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) has attempted to enhance safety with measures such as a Leading Pedestrian Interval and revised traffic signals to comply with a reduced speed limit. However, locals continue to report dangerous conditions including reckless driving, speeding, and jaywalking. This ongoing perception of danger reflects deeper issues regarding urban traffic management and pedestrian safety measures that may need reevaluation.
Residents express their frustration with the ongoing safety issues at the intersection of Metropolitan and Union avenues, despite recent improvements by the NYC DOT. Reports of close calls and reckless driving are frequent.
Even with the implementation of measures like the Leading Pedestrian Interval and a speed limit reduction to 25 mph, many still feel unsafe at this busy intersection.
