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.

Uptown’s hard miles: bikes down, bodies burned, promises thin
AD 71: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
West 181st and Cabrini. Noon on a Sunday. A white Mercedes swings a U‑turn. A 29‑year‑old on a bike goes down. The driver runs, leaves the car, flees on foot. Neighbors watch and wince. “No one stops at these stop signs,” one said. “We see people go through these red lights all the time.” Another added, “I really want there to be speed humps because it’s just terrifying.” CBS New York.
On West 181st a year earlier, a 37‑year‑old e‑bike rider hit a parked tractor‑trailer before 4 a.m. He died in the street. NYC Open Data.
At Broadway and West 161st, an older man tried to cross. A sedan with tinted windows and unsafe speed struck him. He died. NYC Open Data.
Where the pain lands
The district’s worst toll sits on the Henry Hudson Parkway and on Broadway. Four people died and 357 were hurt on Henry Hudson. One died and 124 were hurt on Broadway. These are not guesses. They’re counts. Small‑area analysis.
Nights are bad. The bodies stack up after dark: four deaths in the 2 a.m. hour alone; two more at 10 p.m.; another at 3 a.m. Injuries spike at midnight and again through the evening rush. Small‑area analysis.
Bikes and feet take the hit. Since 2022: cyclists, 2 dead, 210 injured; pedestrians, 2 dead, 286 injured. Trucks, SUVs, and cars do most of the damage. Small‑area analysis.
Washington Heights: hit, run, repeat
“Cyclist hospitalized after hit‑and‑run,” read the Sunday bulletin from 181st and Cabrini. The driver was gone. The cyclist went to the hospital. CBS New York.
“That almost looks like he was doing it on purpose,” a witness said after seeing the U‑turn video the next day. “The crowding and the traffic signals are a problem,” said another. “No one stops… We see people go through these red lights all the time.” CBS New York.
On St. Nicholas and West 155th, an SUV hit an e‑bike rider just before 11 p.m. The rider died. The crash record lists distraction and unsafe speed. NYC Open Data.
High speed, high cost
A wrong‑way driver on the Henry Hudson hit head‑on. Two men died. A lawsuit says a 17‑year‑old drank at a club, drove the wrong way, then fled, leaving his passenger. “Kirk was taken from me just as we were starting our new life together,” his fiancée said. New York Post.
In April, an NYPD chase rolled into Inwood. An SUV crashed and burned near Dyckman. Video shows a patrol car arrive, then leave. Family watched the footage later. “No help was offered,” his sister said. “One minute’s too long. Imagine more than 15 minutes.” The officers were suspended. CBS New York and Patch.
What the numbers say
Contributing factors in these streets: “other” leads the harm count. Then unsafe speed, disregard for signals, distraction. Eleven people suffered serious injuries from “other,” two from speed, one from a blown signal. Two pedestrians killed. Two cyclists killed. Small‑area analysis.
This year’s pace is not mercy. Crashes up about 10% year‑to‑date versus last year to date. Injuries up too. PeriodStats.
Fix the blocks that bleed
Start where people are dying and where drivers fly at night:
- Henry Hudson Parkway: median barriers and speed control at the north uptown spans. Target the 2 a.m. hour.
- Broadway and West 161st: daylight the corners, harden turns, set a leading pedestrian interval.
- West 181st and Cabrini: speed humps, raised crosswalks, all‑way stop enforcement.
These are basic tools: daylighting, hardened turns, raised crossings, humps, and focused enforcement on the repeat hotspots. Small‑area analysis.
The levers in Albany and City Hall
Albany extended 24‑hour school‑zone cameras through 2030. Lawmakers say they kept protections in place. S 8344.
A bill in the Assembly would force speed‑limiters on repeat offenders who rack up points or camera tickets. Sponsors filed it in January. A 2299.
City leaders can set safer speeds citywide under Sammy’s Law. They have the power. Use it. Our own reporting explains why slower is safer and how to push your officials. Read and act: Take Action.
What residents already know
“No one stops… We see people go through these red lights all the time.” CBS New York.
“I really want there to be speed humps.” CBS New York.
“‘One minute’s too long. Imagine more than 15 minutes.’” CBS New York.
