NYC vehicular accidents: WHERE?

WHERE -- Where do most vehicular accidents in NYC happen?

Happy Thanksgiving!  After a long hiatus, I will present some results addressing the above question about New York City vehicular collisions (source: NYPD vehicular collision dataset July 1, 2012 - November 21, 2016).  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHERE -- Where do most vehicular accidents in NYC happen?



  • in the last week of the dataset (November 14 2016 - November 21 2016)
















































  • the last month of the dataset (October 21 2016 - November 21 2016)

























  • in November (Novembers 2012-2016)


  • in the entire dataset (July 1, 2012 - November 21, 2016) 








The zip codes that are common among all these views are:
  • Manhattan - Midtown & Hells Kitchen (10019)
  • Manhattan - Turtle Bay & Midtown (10022)
  • Long Island City (11101)
  • Downtown Brooklyn (11201)
  • Brooklyn - East New York (11207)


Thus, it wouldn't hurt to be extra careful driving, walking, or cycling through the above 5 areas.

Still to come....
  • WHEN -- When do most vehicular accidents in NYC happen?
  • HOW -- What is the predominant reason/cause for these vehicle accidents?  

Drive safely as we approach the end of the holiday...and remember, don't drive like my brother!
