These Are The Most Dangerous Intersections In Corona: Report

CORONA, NY – Three intersections in North Corona are among the city's most dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists, according to a new report.

The intersections of one-lane streets at 37th Ave. and 101st St., 39th Ave. and 111th St., and 37th Ave. and 99th St. saw the most injuries to pedestrians and cyclists from 2013 to 2018, the report by real estate website Localize.city found.

During that time, seven crashes at 37th Ave. and 101st Street killed or injured seven people, making it the most dangerous intersection of one-lane streets in Queens.

"The area around North Corona’s 37th Avenue and 101st Street is particularly dangerous," the report said. "When tallying up the crashes that have happened over the last five years in this one-lane intersection as well as one a block away, more than a dozen pedestrians and cyclists were injured in all."

At the 20 most dangerous intersections in NYC examined by Localize.city, the average crash rate was one every 9 months.

“A lot of attention has been given to dangerous large avenues and thoroughfares in recent years — and rightly so. But remember that dangerous driving can, and does, still happen on quiet neighborhood streets," Localize.city urban planner Alon Goldstein said in a statement.

“These intersections can be troublesome to those traversing them on a daily basis,”Localize.city data scientist Israel Schwartz said.

Still, New York City has seen fewer people dying from crashes. There were 199 traffic deaths in 2018, the fewest since the city began record-keeping in 1910.
