I just returned from a 9-day vacation in NYC, and while I was there, I saw–and was in the middle of (intentionally)–some pretty horrible traffic on my bike.  I’m a traffic junkie, though, so I consider it a fun, challenging part of the ride, but it’s still incredibly dangerous if you don’t stay alert.

The video below, titled 3-Way Street, was shot in Manhattan, and shows just how close pedestrians, cyclists and drivers come to creating accidents at a typical intersection.  Just keep in mind, this is only one intersection, in a city of millions, and this same scene repeats itself thousands of times a day, everyday.
