Left turn at 11th and 34th. A man on foot goes down.

Manhattan CB4: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 12, 2025

A driver turned left at 11th Avenue and West 34th Street and hit a 24‑year‑old man in the crosswalk. Police recorded failure to yield by the driver here.

This Week

  • On W 44th Street at 9th Avenue, a driver and a person on a bike collided as both turned left, injuring the cyclist here.
  • Near 604 9th Avenue, a driver parked an SUV; a woman on a bike riding straight was injured on contact here.

The toll in this district

Since Jan 1, 2022, 19 people have been killed on the streets of Manhattan CB4. That includes six people walking and four people on bikes, with 2,310 injuries recorded across all crashes in this period Open Data.

Police reports in this area list named driver errors again and again: inattention and failure to yield show up in injury and death records Open Data.

Hot corners keep hurting people. Along 8th Avenue and 11th Avenue, crashes and injuries pile up, including deaths, marking them as repeat trouble spots in CB4 Open Data.

Where the street fights back

Simple fixes stop turning drivers from cutting people down. Daylighting at corners, hardened left turns, and leading pedestrian intervals are basic tools the city deploys elsewhere; they fit these avenues and side streets too. Truck routing and protected bike lanes on 8th, 9th, and 11th can take heavy vehicles and high‑risk turns out of the path of people.

These are not theories here. Police recorded failure to yield by a left‑turning driver in the 11th and 34th crash. That is a design problem as much as a summons book problem Open Data.

The laws are on the table

Albany already gave New York City the power to lower speeds. “This is about trying to eliminate all unnecessary deaths, and one of the ways you do that is by making the speed limit lower,” Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal said when lawmakers advanced the 20 MPH authority known as Sammy’s Law Gothamist.

CB4’s state senator, Brad Hoylman‑Sigal, co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee on the Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045), which would require intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators Open States. CB4’s assembly member, Tony Simone, co‑sponsored the companion speed‑limiter bill (A 2299 noted in context as A 2299) and a bill to expand automated enforcement and curb plate‑obstruction dodging (A 7997) Open States.

On the city side, CB4’s council member Erik Bottcher sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks—daylighting that could keep corners clear for people Streetsblog NYC.

What happens next

  • Lower speeds on local streets under Sammy’s Law. The City Council and the mayor have the power; the tools exist Gothamist.
  • Pass speed limiters for repeat offenders. Senator Hoylman‑Sigal has voted yes; the Assembly can move the companion and send it to the governor S 4045 A 7997.
  • Fix the corners that keep killing. Daylight them. Harden the turns. Protect the bike lines.

One left turn at 11th and 34th put a man on the ground. Slower streets and fewer repeat speeders would make that corner, and the next one, less likely to draw blood. If you want that, act here.
