- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.

Four hits in nine days. One board. One pattern.
Manhattan CB11: Jan 1, 2022 - Dec 3, 2025
Just before noon on Nov 28 at Park Ave and E 119 St, a driver turned right and hit a 26‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal; police recorded unsafe speed and failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Late on Nov 26 on FDR Drive, two drivers going north hit a 22‑year‑old man; he died at the scene (NYC Open Data).
- Midday on Nov 26 at E 126 St and Lexington Ave, a pickup driver hit a 48‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
- Early on Nov 19 at E 117 St and Madison Ave, a bus driver making a left hit a 41‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal; police recorded driver distraction and failure to yield (NYC Open Data).
The count does not let up
Since 2022, people on foot have been hit in 627 crashes here, with 13 pedestrians killed and 645 injured (NYC Open Data). Across all modes, this board has seen 17 deaths and 3,490 injuries in that span (NYC Open Data).
This year, crashes are up 9.0% from last year, with injuries up 18.8% and serious injuries up 80.0%; deaths are down, but five people are still gone (NYC Open Data). Deadly hours run all day and night in the record—pre‑dawn, late morning, late afternoon, and after 9 PM all show fatalities logged by police (NYC Open Data).
Corners that keep breaking people
Police have logged repeated harm at Harlem River Drive and along East 125 Street—both listed among the top locations for injuries and deaths in this community board (NYC Open Data crash records). Recent cases in the past month show the same driver errors again and again: unsafe speed, failure to yield, and distraction, all recorded by police on the reports linked above.
What would help now is not theory. Daylight the crosswalks so people aren’t stepping from behind parked metal; there’s a bill to require it at scale. Council Member Diana I. Ayala is listed as a co‑sponsor of Int 1138‑2024, which would ban standing or parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk and order barriers at 1,000 intersections per year.
Who’s moved, and what still sits
To slow the worst repeat speeders, the State Senate moved a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up violations. State Senator Jose Serrano co‑sponsored and voted yes on S 4045 in committee this year (Open States). That bill would force habitual offenders to use tech that keeps them within 5 MPH of the limit, as summarized in the legislative record.
The pattern on our streets says the rest. People are hit while they have the walk. People are hit by turning drivers who don’t yield. The fixes are known. The tools exist.
Use the tools you have
- Pass daylighting. Install the barriers. Keep sightlines clear on Park Ave, East 125 Street, and other repeat corners listed in the city’s own data (NYC Open Data).
- Advance and pass speed‑limiter mandates for repeat speeders—S 4045 has already cleared key steps in the Senate (Open States).
- Lower speeds citywide. Sammy’s Law gave the city that power; use it. Details and contacts are here.
One man down at noon on Park Ave. Another dead by night on the FDR. Do the simple things. Do them now. Then fewer names will land in these lines.
Take one step today: tell City Hall and Albany to slow the streets and rein in repeat speeders—start here.
