On Long Island, the blend of heavy vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist traffic has resulted in several dangerous intersections prone to severe accidents.
An intersection along Hempstead Turnpike, known for multi-car pileups, is particularly notorious for its traffic volume and frequent lane changes, posing risks for safe navigation.
Pedestrian and shopping center traffic compounds the hazards at another busy junction, where left turns against oncoming traffic often lead to dangerous scenarios.
Poor visibility and a complex layout at another crossroads frequently result in rear-end collisions, especially during rush hour traffic.
Near Roosevelt Field Mall, the mix of heavy pedestrian activity and drivers making unsighted right turns on red endangers those on foot and leads to vehicle-pedestrian collisions.
Another intersection is notorious for angle collisions caused by drivers running red lights or making improper turns, with speeding exacerbating the crash severity.
A major north-south route intersecting an east-west highway faces serious accident risks due to heavy summer traffic, limited visibility, and high speeds, worsened by dense fog conditions.
The Glen Cove Road intersection is shadowed by accidents resulting from speeding, lane changes, and high pedestrian crossing activity near the Long Island Expressway exit.
An intersection near the Bellmore train station witnesses a perilous mix of commuter and local shopper traffic, with turning vehicles and pedestrians increasing accident risks during peak periods.
