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