Sep 25 - Int 1394 orders a stop sign or signal at every crosswalk by Jan 1, 2027. It shifts responsibility onto drivers and cuts ambiguity at uncontrolled crossings. Likely boosts yielding and protects pedestrians and cyclists. Analysts warn over‑signaling or poor timing could add delay and turning conflicts.

"A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks" -- Justin L. Brannan

Int. No. 1394 (File Int 1394-2025) was introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan and reached the Council vote stage on 2025-09-25 after referral from the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." The bill would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks by January 1, 2027. Safety analysts say the law "shifts responsibility onto drivers and reduces ambiguity at currently uncontrolled intersections, likely improving yielding and pedestrian/cyclist safety citywide," while warning that "over-signalization or poor timing could increase pedestrian delay and turning conflicts."

Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.

"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan

Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.
