abstract="In 1993, the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) received a federal grant (under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) to research, design and test innovative traffic calming devices. This was part of a larger program to enhance the pedestrian environment in the city. Under this program, crash statistics analysis and policy codification were used to &quot;sell&quot; traffic calming within the DOT. This paper presents a crash analysis of Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPI), a crash analysis of neckdowns, and the new neckdown policy. Neckdowns, also known as corner extensions, bulb-outs, and sidewalk expansions, narrow intersections by extending the curb at the corner.<p />",
