Walking, driving, and biking are important methods of transportation for residents of Queens. While suburban dwellers might walk or bike for enjoyment, city dwellers depend on walking and biking as important means of daily commuting as well as exercise. Higher loads on roadways increases car accident rates, especially where commuters of all types come together going different directions—such as at intersections. Where are the most dangerous intersections in Queens? Where does your commute take you? Some of the most dangerous intersections in Queens include the following:

Queens Boulevard: Topping most lists of dangerous intersections is Queens Boulevard. Part of New York State Route 25, Queens Boulevard is a wide, well-used roadway connecting Long Island and Jamaica. Running more than half the length of Queens, the boulevard has been nicknamed the Boulevard of Death. From 1993 to 2000, 73 people died on the road, and officials continue to try and reduce fatalities. Prominent crossing signs make drivers aware of dangerous conditions, and signal times have been slightly increased by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to give pedestrians a better chance of crossing the street alive. Dangerous intersections on the street include:

• Queens Boulevard and 51st Avenue
• Queens Boulevard and Yellowstone Boulevard
• Queens Boulevard and Grand Avenue
• Queens Boulevard and 63rd Road
• Queens Boulevard and Broadway
• Queens Boulevard and 60th Street
• Queens Boulevard and 39th Street
• Queens Boulevard and 46th Street
• Queens Boulevard and 71st Avenue

Heads up here: And watch out for these Queens intersections too:

• Union Street and Northern Boulevard
• Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue
• Jamaica Ave and Parsons Boulevard
• Hillside Ave and Parsons Boulevard
• Archer Ave and Sutphin Boulevard
• Jamaica Ave and Woodhaven Boulevard
