Exclusive Pedestrian Signal Locations in New York City

Installation dates for Barnes Dance pedestrian signals across New York City intersections provide a temporal record of safety infrastructure deployment. The dataset includes detailed geospatial and administrative location data, linking each signal to specific streets, boroughs, and political districts. It is maintained by the City of New York and was last updated in early April 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping signal locations using the `the_geom` column for spatial analysis.
• Analyzing the rollout timeline of pedestrian safety features using the `Installation Date` field.
• Correlating signal presence with political or administrative boundaries like `CounDist` (City Council District) or `BoroCD` (Borough Community District).
• Identifying intersections with specific signal types, such as `Barnes Dance` or `Modified Barnes Dance`.

Strengths

• Includes precise geospatial coordinates (`the_geom`) for mapping intersection locations.
• Provides granular administrative data, linking entries to 14 distinct political and community districts.
• Contains a temporal dimension with `Installation Date` for analyzing deployment history.

Limitations

• Conflicting last updated dates (2026-04-05 vs 2026-04-03) create uncertainty about the most recent version.
• Key metadata like row count, license, and exact size is unavailable across all sources.
