CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.

Rajkumar’s District: Where Kids Bleed and Drivers Walk Free
AD 38: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 6, 2025
Blood on the Boulevard
Five dead. Six seriously hurt. In the last year alone, Assembly District 38 has seen 1,006 crashes. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about the weather, the hour, or the name of the street. They only climb.
Just last week, a 23-year-old man was run down on 101st Street and Liberty Boulevard. Police said, “Sonalall approached the driver’s side window and flashed what appeared to be a gun, startling the motorist to the point that he drove off, striking the menace” according to the New York Post. The DA did not charge the driver. Another life ended in the street.
In June, a man in his 50s was left fighting for his life after a black SUV hit him and kept going. “Police say the victim was struck by a black SUV traveling eastbound on 101st Avenue that kept going” reported ABC7. No arrest. No answers. The road stays hungry.
The Cost for the Most Vulnerable
Children, elders, and those on foot or bike pay the highest price. In the last twelve months, 74 children were injured. No child lost their life. SUVs and cars did the most damage: six deaths, 239 minor injuries, 46 moderate injuries, four serious injuries. Motorcycles and mopeds killed one, bikes left seven hurt. The streets are not safe for the small or the slow.
What Has Rajkumar Done?
Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar voted to extend school speed zones, a move to protect children near schools. She co-sponsored bills to boost street safety for all users. But she also pushed for e-bike registration and insurance, a policy that burdens delivery workers and shifts blame from drivers to the most vulnerable. Her own office car racked up ten school-zone speeding tickets in a year. The law is slow to change. The street is not.
The Next Step Is Yours
Every day of delay means another family broken. Call Rajkumar. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real street redesigns. Demand action that protects people, not just drivers. The dead cannot speak. You can.

Rajkumar Condemns Traffic Violence Supports Safety Boosting Reforms▸Feb 23 - A pedestrian was crushed three times at a deadly Queens crossing. DOT chief Rodriguez vowed swift action: raised crosswalks, new signals, lane changes. Council Member Holden demanded more time to cross, enforcement, and real protection. Residents called it traffic violence.
On February 23, 2022, DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez pledged immediate safety improvements at a notorious Queens intersection, after a pedestrian was run over three times by two drivers. The agency cited 'raised crosswalks, pedestrian-only signal timing, new lane markings and other lane redesigns' as part of its response. Council Member Bob Holden, speaking at the scene, pressed for longer crossing times, raised crosswalks, and enforcement against illegal parking and reckless driving. Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar called the situation 'traffic violence,' demanding stronger city control over speed limits and cameras. The redesign is part of Mayor Adams's plan to fix 1,000 dangerous intersections. Residents and advocates highlighted the ongoing threat from large vehicles and a culture of reckless driving.
