Activist filmmaker Anna Zivarts made a simple but powerful video to demonstrate the frequent legal violations of automobiles and trucks at an intersection that hosted 2014’s first pedestrian fatality in Sunset Park.
The video directs the viewers attention to how traffic signals play in to putting pedestrians at the disadvantage and documents the disregard for people on foot with the right-of-way by motorists.
An interactive map of non-motorists killed by motorists in New York City in 2013 can be found here. Mayor deBlasio ran, in part, on an agenda of zero pedestrian deaths.
