Each Pedestrian safety action Plan addresses specific traffic
issues in the respective borough
Priority intersections, corridors and
areas were geographically located in each borough based
on crash data
DESIGN INTERVENTIONS IN EACH BOROUGH

Interventions in Bronx
aimed at reducing drivers
driving at illegal speeds
Interventions in Brooklyn
aimed at reconfiguring street
spaces
DESIGN INTERVENTIONS IN EACH BOROUGH

Interventions in
Staten Island
aimed at reducing speeding, adding raised
center median and pedestrian safety islands
and narrowing moving lanes.
RESULTS OF DESIGN INTERVENTIONS
Source: Vision Zero One Year Report (April 2015)
Redesign of priority corridors, intersections
and areas have resulted into a higher
Perception of Safety for
pedestrians and cyclists
Wherever DOT has made interventions
fatalities are down by
34%
Redesign of Priority corridors have led to
41% fewer crashes with
injuries
