W 47 St, 2 PM
Manhattan CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just about 2 PM on Sep 10, 2025, on W 47 St, a driver in a Chevy SUV going west hit a 66‑year‑old man who was walking outside the intersection. Police recorded failure to yield and distraction by the driver (NYC Open Data crash 4841402).
This Week
- Sep 9: a driver in a Ford pickup hit a man on a bike near 232 W 37 St (NYC Open Data crash 4841145).
- Sep 9: a van driver making a left at W 25 St and Avenue of the Americas hit a woman walking, with failure to yield recorded by police (NYC Open Data crash 4841122).
- Sep 8: a sedan driver hit a woman crossing with the signal at W 38 St and 8 Ave; police cited distraction by the driver (NYC Open Data crash 4840896).
How big is the toll here?
Since Jan 1, 2022, in Manhattan CB5 there have been 16 people killed, 3,012 injured, and 73 seriously injured in 5,662 crashes (NYC Open Data). In the past 12 months, 7 people were killed and 857 were injured here (PeriodStats, NYC Open Data). Pedestrians account for 9 of the deaths; people on bikes, 4 (mode split from NYC Open Data).
The risk clusters on known blocks. Avenue of the Americas is a top hotspot with deaths and injuries. So is 7 Avenue (NYC Open Data). Police most often record driver actions we can fix: failure to yield, distraction, unsafe speed, and improper turns (NYC Open Data).
Where the street fails people
Left turns cut people down at W 25 St and Sixth. Distraction hits people in the crosswalk at W 38 St and Eighth. The pattern repeats on the hour: crashes pile up from late afternoon into the evening rush (NYC Open Data).
There are fixes we can install now: daylight every corner, add leading pedestrian intervals, harden turns with concrete, and route trucks off the narrow blocks that carry the most people walking. Enforcement has to match the map.
Leaders with levers
Council Member Keith Powers backed a car‑free 34th Street busway. “It’s time to get buses moving faster, and the busway will do just that,” he said (AMNY). Cutting car volume saves lives on foot and on bikes.
At the state level, Senator Liz Krueger co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee for S 4045, which would require intelligent speed assistance for repeat speeders (Open States). Assembly Member Tony Simone co‑sponsors the Assembly speed‑limiter bill A 2299 and a bill to expand camera enforcement of plate obstruction A 7997 (Open States).
The tools exist. Slow the default speed. Stop the worst repeat offenders. Keep cars out where the crowds are thick. A man went down on W 47 St. He should have made it home.
Take one step now: ask your officials to back safer speeds and speed limiters. Start here.
