Eastern Parkway is City’s Most Dangerous Road for Pedestrians

"Sprawling eight-lane Eastern Parkway has a higher rate of pedestrian
deaths and injuries than infamous Queens Blvd. – and the distinction of
having the deadliest intersection in the entire city."

"There were 25 people killed crossing the 3.9-mile length of Eastern
Parkway from 1995 to 2001, according to the latest figures available … Cars struck 609 pedestrians in that period."

"Pedestrians have only 16 seconds to cross the six lanes of Eastern
Parkway, which also has two service roads separated by two islands. The
speed limit – 30 mph – is routinely broken."
