About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- 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.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

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.

Manhattan CB6: Speed, steel, and the bodies left behind
Manhattan CB6: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
Since 2022, Manhattan CB6 has seen 7 deaths in the dataset below: 3 pedestrians, 3 cyclists, 1 occupant, plus a corridor of injuries that does not stop (NYC Open Data). A bus killed a 49‑year‑old man at 3rd Ave and E 28th just after dawn on June 16, 2025 (crash record). An SUV struck and killed an 81‑year‑old woman on E 59th in 2024; the driver was unlicensed (crash record). A 65‑year‑old cyclist died at 2nd Ave and E 15th in July 2025. The SUV went straight. The bike changed lanes. The bike rider died (crash record).
The FDR takes bodies. First, Second, and Third take blood. Top trouble spots in this board include 1 Avenue and 2 Avenue. The FDR corridor is a steady churn of crashes (small‑area analysis).
Night falls. Sirens rise.
Injury peaks hit late afternoon into evening, then again at 6–9 p.m. Deaths appear at midnight, 3 a.m., 5 a.m., and around the evening rush. The map does not sleep (hourly distribution).
Trucks and buses are a small share but cut deep. Pedestrians were injured by trucks and buses dozens of times; one bus strike was fatal here. SUVs and sedans do the daily work of harm (local roll‑up).
Three corners. One fix.
- First Avenue. Second Avenue. Third Avenue. Protected space and hardened turns would slow the hit. Daylighting the corners would clear the view. On truck routes, tighten lanes and set off‑set stop bars. Focus enforcement on repeat hotspots and heavy vehicles. These are direct answers to the board’s leading factors: distraction, failure to yield, and the rest of the endless “other” that hides speed and carelessness in a box (small‑area factors).
Officials know what works — do they?
City Hall will redesign 14th Street next year. The plan “aims to improve the pedestrian experience.” It draws $2 million from the city and $1 million from two BIDs (NY1). Curb policy is shifting too; DOT rolled out paid app parking on the Upper West Side overnight, citing “increasing demand for curb space.” Notice was thin (West Side Spirit).
After two people were killed by a driver going more than 100 mph at Canal and Bowery, DOT said it is adding barriers and narrowing lanes there. “We are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” the commissioner said (Gothamist; NY1).
Stop the repeat killers.
- Lawmakers moved a bill to force speed limiters on cars driven by people with a record of violations. Senators voted “yes” in committee; sponsors lined up in June 2025 (S 4045). The target is the small share of drivers who do outsized harm. The pattern is citywide. The wreckage is local.
What the numbers say here.
In the past 12 months, CB6 recorded 1,217 crashes, 738 injuries, and 5 deaths. This year to date, crashes are up about a third over last year’s pace; deaths rose from 0 to 3 in the same span (period stats).
By mode since 2022 in this board: cyclists 3 dead and 487 injured; pedestrians 3 dead and 484 injured. Occupants 1 dead, 1,027 injured. Every figure is a body on a stretcher or a phone that never rang (small‑area mode split).
The cost of waiting.
- Speed is the difference between a bruise and a funeral. Albany renewed 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, but the city still chooses how fast its streets will be and who gets to speed again. The tools exist. The scoreboard is on the pavement (Take Action).
