Brooklyn’s 10 most dangerous intersections for cyclists: report
Amid a spike in cyclist deaths in 2019, the sharpest increase has been in Brooklyn, where 13 riders have been killed already this year. That’s 72 percent of the city’s cyclist deaths in just one borough.
Real estate platform Localize.city analyzed intersections in New York City from 2013 to 2018 and determined which were the most dangerous for bikers based on injuries and fatalities at those crossings. The findings don’t include this year’s cyclist deaths, and certain intersections have gotten bike lanes since 2013.
Here are the 10 most dangerous intersections in Brooklyn during that five-year period, along with comments from real estate experts on the top five.
