New York Times: Central Park Cyclists Get Wish to Share Shortcut. But Slowly.

Steve Vaccaro praises new Central Park shared bicycle path as it improves transportation options for cyclists and reduces pedestrian conflicts.

For many years, traffic collisions and crashes have been called “accidents” by drivers, their insurers, police, and even pedestrian and cyclist victims themselves. But the term "accident" implies a sudden, unforeseeable occurrence for which no one bears fault. In fact, most traffic collisions are caused by aggressive or reckless driving. We use the term "crash" to avoid implying an absence of driver fault. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and the NYPD agree with us, and have adopted the terms “crash” and "collision" instead of "accident."
