Abstract The play street is a street temporarily closed to traffic while a variety of super- vised recreational activities for all age groups take place. Since no construction is required in order to create the play street, the play street program brings an accident reduction potential and a number of social, educational, and recreational benefits at a comparatively low cost. This report describes the methodology utilized in gathering data relating to New York City play streets. It contains: street and area descriptors, observations of street use, Observations of vehicle intrusions on the play street, play street user demographics and play street resident and merchant reactions.
