48 <br />Chart 3-9: Right-of-Way Controls During Pedestrian Collision <br />vehicles violating pedestrian right-of-way as the most frequent cause, <br />followed by improper driving, then signals and signs violations, unsafe <br />speed, and pedestrian violations. <br />Research from 2019 from the NYC Department of Transportation <br />showed that in general, despite what is reported in crash reports, it is <br />not “Pedestrian Right of Way Violation” that typically leads to crashes <br />but instead it is “dangerous driver behavior—speeding and failure to <br />yield—that is killing pedestrians,” as described in the study. <br />Figure 3-7 shows five years of pedestrian collisions with a concentra- <br />tion in the downtown area. There are high densities around the primary <br />east-west corridors of 1st Street and 17th Street. Slightly lower densi- <br />ty east-west corridors are on McFadden Avenue and Warner Avenue. <br />Pedestrian collisions resulting in severe injuries and fatalities tend to <br />follow primary and major arterials, such as 1st Street, 17th Street, Warner <br />Avenue, Bristol Street, Fairview Street, and Harbor Boulevard. <br />Chart 3-8: Vehicle Movement During Pedestrian Collision Chart 3-10: Primary Collision Factor of Pedestrian Collision  <br />  <br />City Council 32 – 53 6/4/2024
