NYC's most dangerous intersections

I was browsing around the blog entitled New York Hack when I stumbled upon a list of the most dangerous intersections. Although the list is published for cab drivers, it's a great list to know for any motorcyclist to know.

Without further ado, here's the list, in order decreasing from most accident injuries to fewest:

1. E 33rd St and Park Ave
2. 34th St and 7th Ave
3. Essex and Delancy St
4. W 14 st and Ave of the Americas
5. 145th St and 7th Ave
6. W 42nd St and 8th Ave
7. E 42nd St and 3rd Ave
8. w34th and 8th Ave
9. E 14th St and 3rd Ave
10. E 14th St and 1st Ave

I took this morning to visit each one, just so you don't have to - though I honestly don't know that I'd recommend *that* to anyone as a tour of Manhattan. Here's another interpretation of the list above that's easier to remember to avoid / beware while riding:

-The entrance to the Park Avenue tunnel, heading north (drivers are always deciding to cut in at the last minute)
-Anywhere around Penn Station (cabs darting everywhere)
-A block west of Times Square (there's always tons of Jersey traffic here, and lots of illegal U-turners)
-Wherever you see tons of white stripe paint checkered across the intersection (e.g. 42nd & 3rd)
-Whenever you find yourself on a two-way street with no physical divider (e.g. all of 14th street, 7th Avenue above the Central Park, and Delancey Street right off the Williamsburg bridge)
