The analysis identified 118 intersections where five or more people suffered deaths or serious injuries during that period. Manhattan and Queens contain the highest-count intersections, with several Manhattan locations and Northern Boulevard and 48th Street in Queens each recording nine deaths or serious injuries. Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Bronx each have intersections with eight such incidents. The data accompany advocacy for a bill to outlaw parking near crosswalks to improve safety.
