AD 23: Speed. Steel. Silence.
AD 23: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A 23‑year‑old on 101st Street went down at 11:32 p.m. The Infiniti’s front end hit him off the corner. The record lists “Unsafe Speed.” He died at the scene. NYC crash data.
- On the Belt Parkway, a BMW vaulted the divider and burned. Two young people died. Police said no one in the BMW wore a seat belt. Speed was under review. “Six people were injured—two critically—in a fiery crash.” “No one in the doomed BMW was wearing a seat belt, according to police sources.”
- Cross Bay Boulevard, 9:22 p.m., a 27‑year‑old was ejected and killed. The file says “Unsafe Speed” and “Alcohol Involvement.” NYC crash data.
The lines in the database are blunt. They do not comfort.
The hours when bodies break
Crashes stack up after dark. Death clusters at the edges of the day. In this district, the worst hours include 11 p.m. (three deaths) and 6 a.m. (four deaths). 2 p.m., 8 p.m., and 9 p.m. each saw lives end too. The tally is plain in the hourly roll‑up: late nights and dawns are deadly here.
Unsafe speed is the through line. It’s cited in fatal files from Beach Channel Drive to the Belt. In the small‑area analysis, “Unsafe Speed” sits atop the causes tied to death and serious harm. District stats.
Five miles too fast
Look at the map and you see the same names. The Belt Parkway leads in death and injury. Cross Bay Boulevard follows. North Conduit Avenue. Beach Channel Drive. These are not secrets.
Over the past 12 months, crashes jumped 53% year‑to‑date, injuries 62%, with five deaths so far this year after none at this point last year. The numbers come from the district’s period stats. They read like a flat tone on a heart monitor.
Sirens hit sirens
Even police runs collide here. Two NYPD vehicles slammed each other at Beach 34th and Seagirt while responding. “Police say the officers were responding to a 911 call at the time.” “Two police vehicles were badly damaged.” Four were hospitalized.
Days later, a car thief jumped into the ocean off Far Rockaway. “Take my belt!” Detective Jacqueline Demerest shouted before diving. “We went through all of this for a stolen car?” the same detective said on body cam. “[Yeah, I know, it was stupid,]” the suspect replied. The NYPD posted, officers put “duty before danger.” Daily News.
Three corners. One fix.
- Belt Parkway: four deaths, 183 injuries in this span. The barrier didn’t hold the BMW that went airborne. Open data. Post. Daily News.
- Cross Bay Boulevard: two deaths, 169 injuries. Open data.
- North Conduit Avenue: two deaths, 83 injuries. Open data.
The tools are not exotic: daylighting at crossings, hardened turns, leading pedestrian intervals, lane narrowing, speed humps and raised crossings on feeder roads, and targeted speed enforcement at the deadly hours flagged above. These are standard traffic‑calming steps anchored to the patterns in the district’s own data.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany renewed New York City’s 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. Most city lawmakers backed it. Assembly Member Stacey Pheffer Amato did not. She voted no on the extender bill S 8344. “Pheffer Amato Opposes … the speed camera program,” Streetsblog wrote. The split is on the record.
There is a path to fewer funerals. Lower speeds save lives. The city has the power to lower limits. Advocates say do it now, and tell Albany to rein in the worst repeat offenders with speed limiters. See our Take Action page for the calls and bills.
