Daylight Saving Time Ends In NYC: When Does The Sun Set Sunday?

NEW YORK CITY — Get ready to "fall back," New York City.

Daylight Saving Time will end Sunday at 2 a.m., bringing the annual ritual of clocks setting back an hour and the tech-averse puzzling over how to do so with their microwaves.

And wave goodbye to bright evenings — sunset Sunday will be at 4:48 p.m.

Thankfully, the earlier sunset also means an earlier sunrise — it'll be 6:32 a.m. Monday.

Falling back marks the time of year known as the "dark 30," which brings sunset before people are home before the evening commute or when kids get home from after-school activities.

New York City officials also warn that the streets grow more dangerous during evenings and at night this time of year, especially for pedestrians and cyclists.

The city kicked off its "Dusk and Darkness" public safety campaign this week to help keep New Yorkers safe on the streets.

For the campaign, officials announced the winner of "We're Walking Here" — a contest in which elementary and middle school students compete to create public service announcement videos warning about traffic dangers.

The winning video from students in I.S. 59Q in Springfield Gardens, Queens and an afterschool program at the Jamaica YMCA can be seen here:

Motorists at dusk are warned to slow down to 25 mph at dusk, take turns at 5 mph and pause and look for people in the crosswalk every time.

Pedestrians should know drivers' vision drops tenfold at night and that more people on foot are hurt in crashes around sunset than any other time, officials said.
