By summer 2010, the expansion of bike lanes in NYC exposed a clash of long-standing bad habits — such as pedestrians jaywalking, cyclists running red lights, and motorists plowing through crosswalks. By focusing on one intersection as a case study, this video aims to show our interconnection and shared role in improving the safety and usability of our streets.
Video: Cars, Bikes and Pedestrians – A 3-Way-Street
By summer 2010, the expansion of bike lanes in NYC exposed a clash of long-standing bad habits — such as pedestrians jaywalking, cyclists running red lights, and motorists plowing through crosswalks. By focusing on one intersection as a case study, this video aims to show our interconnection and shared role in improving the safety and usability of our streets.
The video is part of a larger campaign called ‘3-Way Street’.
Street Smart
Isn’t that a 4 way street.
Lance Armstrong
Looks like all but a couple of problems were caused by cyclists.
C-mon
I’m not sure if anyone realizes,but not one of these incidents ended up with someone getting hurt. People are not as stupid as the video tries to make them out to be. People do look out for themselves and for others around them. If anything more lights makes people more stupid because they stop thinking and looking, they just follow the lights. People naturally have intuition and they seem to work it out for the most part.
Cyclist
Cyclists have become very aggressive and act as if they own the road. I am all for people riding bikes instead of cars, but for goodness’ sake follow the rules of the road!!!

Perhaps ‘3 way’ refers to the 3 types of travel. And no, it doesn’t look like cyclists caused the most trouble. So many jaywalkers, wow! And irresponsible drivers. Thank G-d I live in the midwest!
