Paris's inclusion of mid-block crosswalks enhances pedestrian safety by improving visibility, a stark contrast to New York's dangerous corner-oriented intersections, which contribute significantly to traffic fatalities.
City data indicates that crashes at intersections are responsible for 50% of all traffic fatalities and an alarming 70% of injuries each year in New York.
In response to ongoing pedestrian fatalities, Mayor Adams's initiatives like daylighting and raised crosswalks aim to improve visibility and safety for pedestrians in bustling New York.
The first half of this year alone saw 127 fatalities due to driver negligence in New York, emphasizing the urgent need for improved street safety measures.
