The Dangerous Three-Way Dance at NYC Street Intersections
3-Way Street is a fascinating video by Ron Gabriel that highlights bad interactions between cars, bikes, and pedestrians at a typical NYC street intersection. There are lots of ways to show these interactions...the overhead view and highlighting are particularly effective design choices. Well done.

By summer 2010, the expansion of bike lanes in NYC exposed a clash of long-standing bad habits — such as pedestrians jaywalking, cyclists running red lights, and motorists plowing through crosswalks. By focusing on one intersection as a case study, my video aims to show our interconnection and shared role in improving the safety and usability of our streets. The video is part of a larger campaign I created called '3-Way Street'. Please see blog.ronconcocacola.com for more details. Music: Peter Gunn Theme by Art of Noise, available on iTunes
