New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world for pedestrians.
But it can also be a dangerous city for pedestrians.
Whether you are darting across the street against a red light, or simply too immersed in your phones to pay attention to traffic, Manhattan's pedestrians take their lives into their hands on a daily basis.

Enter any address, or a route between two addresses, and a mode of transportation (car, bike, pedestrian), and the site will give a helpful map showing either the 5 or 10 most dangerous spots near the address or along the route.
