- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.

About this chart
We group pedestrian injuries and deaths by the vehicle type that struck them (as recorded in police reports). Use the dropdown to view totals, serious injuries, or deaths.
- Trucks/Buses, SUVs/Cars, Mopeds, and Bikes reflect the reporting categories in the crash dataset.
- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians are not shown here.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year-to-year variance.
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.

Hudson at W 12: a bike, a Jeep, and the grind of ordinary harm
Manhattan CB2: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 27, 2025
A driver going straight hit a person on a bike at W 12 St and Hudson St in the afternoon on Sep 22. Police records list the bicyclist injured at the scene. Source.
They join a ledger that does not close. Since 2022, crashes in Manhattan CB2 have killed 11 people and injured 1,607. Source.
This is not an outlier. Year to date, CB2 has seen 654 crashes, with 332 people injured and 8 seriously hurt, compared with 689 crashes and 303 injuries at this point last year. Deaths are 2 in both periods. Source.
This Week
- Sep 15: A driver in a sedan hit a person walking at W 13 St and Avenue of the Americas. Source
- Sep 14: A driver in an SUV hit a person walking near Little West 12 St. Source
Corners that keep bleeding
Avenue of the Americas and Bowery stand out for injuries in this community board’s data. Source. Police list named causes again and again: failure to yield, unsafe speed, and drivers blowing signals. Source.
One intersection takes a life; another takes a leg. At Crosby and Spring, a driver making a left killed a woman walking on Oct 28, 2024. At Centre and Broome, a person on a bike was killed on May 1, 2025. Crosby at Spring, Centre at Broome.

What officials have—and haven’t—done here
Some steps are on the table and in motion. Council Member Carlina Rivera co‑sponsored a daylighting bill to clear sightlines at crosswalks (Int 1138‑2024). Source. In Albany, Assembly Member Deborah Glick sponsored a bill to extend school‑zone speed cameras (A 8787) and another to expand camera enforcement and stop plate obstruction (A 7997). A 8787, A 7997.
The repeat‑speeder bill (S 4045) to require speed limiters for drivers with a record advanced in the Senate; State Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee. Source.
“These are folks, when they leave to get crosstown, it takes forever. We’re changing that now,” said Council Member Erik Bottcher, backing a 34th Street busway that cuts car traffic and calms danger blocks from here. Source.
The fixes are not a mystery
- Daylight every corner where people cross, starting with Avenue of the Americas and Bowery approaches. Harden the turns that keep breaking bodies. Source.
- Give people a head start at signals and slow the turns that kill. Target the morning and early evening hours where injuries stack up. Source.
- Enforce the repeat‑speeder bill and keep cameras honest by stopping plate obstruction, as A 7997 aims to do. S 4045, A 7997.
Slow the cars. Stop the worst.
Lower speeds save lives. New York City can set safer limits and back them with cameras and speed limiters. The tools are in front of us: daylighting on the block, speed cameras at the school, and the Senate’s speed limiter bill that Kavanagh supported. Glick has put camera bills on the floor. Rivera has backed clearing the corners.
Hudson and W 12 is one corner. There are many. Tell City Hall and Albany you want it fixed. Act here.

Glick co-sponsors bill adding surcharge for safer, clearer bike lanes.▸Jan 9 - Assembly bill A 1236 hits Albany. It targets drivers who block bike lanes. The bill adds a mandatory surcharge. Money goes to the court. Cyclists get no relief until cars clear the lane.
