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.

CloseBronx CB26: Evening roads, broken bodies, and a choice
Bronx CB26: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 17, 2025
Just after Aug 3, 2025, at W 242nd and Broadway, a driver hit a 76-year-old man who was walking. Police logged a hip and leg injury and sent him to care (NYC Open Data).
Since 2022, on these CB26 streets, 1 person has been killed and 337 injured in 428 crashes, with 5 serious injuries recorded (NYC Open Data). The toll keeps coming.
This Week
- Aug 23: on the Major Deegan, an SUV driver hit a parked ambulance; a 9-year-old girl was listed unconscious with head trauma (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 7: on the Major Deegan, a driver changing lanes hit a pickup; the other driver suffered whiplash (NYC Open Data).
- Jul 19: on the Major Deegan, a driver in a sedan hit a person on an e‑bike; the rider was hurt (NYC Open Data).
Where it hurts
The Major Deegan is the hot spot. It leads this area in injuries and includes the one recorded death (NYC Open Data). Henry Hudson Parkway follows. Broadway at West 242nd shows repeated harm.
The pattern swells at night. Injuries climb in the evening and late hours, with a peak around 6–7 PM and another near 11 PM; the single death hit the 7 PM hour (NYC Open Data). Speed shows up in crash records here, and distraction is noted too (NYC Open Data).
Simple fixes at deadly corners
Cut conflict at the curb: daylight corners and harden turns on Broadway and along the Deegan access roads. Give people on foot a head start with leading pedestrian intervals. Slow the entries and exits with raised crosswalks and tighter radii. Target evening enforcement where the harm piles up.
The record, in their own words
Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz has pushed camera enforcement. “People shouldn’t run red lights… when they do that they endanger other people’s lives, and people have died,” he said as Albany moved to expand cameras citywide (Gothamist).
Council Member Eric Dinowitz co‑sponsored a bill to let ambulettes drive and double‑park in bus lanes to pick up passengers (Int 1339‑2025) (NYC Council Legistar). More vehicles standing in bus lanes means more crossings through live traffic at the curb. On the Harlem River Greenway plan, the Dinowitzes opposed removing parking for a protected bike lane on Bailey Avenue; “We support bike lanes,” Assembly Member Dinowitz said (Streetsblog NYC).
State Senator Gustavo Rivera co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee for S4045 to require speed‑limiters for repeat violators (Open States). That bill targets drivers who rack up eleven or more DMV points in 24 months, or six camera tickets in a year (Open States).
What must change now
- Lower speeds on every block: New York has the power to set safer limits. Use it. See our steps to press City Hall and DOT here.
- Stop repeat speeders: the Senate bill S4045 is moving; the Assembly must match it. Residents can push for passage and enforcement that keeps limiters on the worst offenders (Open States).
One man hit at Broadway and West 242nd. One death logged in this district. The evening hours keep filling with sirens. It does not have to.
Take one step today. Add your voice to slow the streets and rein in repeat speeders: Take action.

Dinowitz co-sponsors bill that reduces street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.▸Jul 14 - Council bill lets ambulettes drive and double-park in bus lanes. More vehicles in bus lanes mean more risk for people walking, biking, and waiting at curbs. Danger grows where curb chaos reigns.
Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.

Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers.

Dinowitz co-sponsors bill that reduces street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.▸Jul 14 - Council bill lets ambulettes drive and double-park in bus lanes. More vehicles in bus lanes mean more risk for people walking, biking, and waiting at curbs. Danger grows where curb chaos reigns.
Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.

Dinowitz co-sponsors bill that reduces street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.▸Jul 14 - Council bill lets ambulettes drive and double-park in bus lanes. More vehicles in bus lanes mean more risk for people walking, biking, and waiting at curbs. Danger grows where curb chaos reigns.
Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.

The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.

Dinowitz Supports Bike Lanes Opposes Safety-Boosting Bike Lane Plan▸Jul 8 - Dinowitzes fight the Harlem River Greenway bike lane. They defend parking. Cyclists and walkers wait for safe passage. DOT says protected lanes save lives. The Bronx stays exposed.
""We support bike lanes."" -- Jeffrey Dinowitz
On July 8, 2025, Assembly Member Jeff Dinowitz and Council Member Eric Dinowitz publicly opposed the city's plan for a protected bike lane on Bailey Avenue, part of the Harlem River Greenway. The matter, described as an 'anti-car crusade,' centers on the removal of 46 parking spots. The Dinowitzes claim the redesign ignores community voices. DOT and local advocates argue the project will cut injuries and deaths, citing crash data. A safety analyst notes the Greenway will create safe, separated space for pedestrians and cyclists, reducing harm and boosting active travel. The Dinowitzes support bike lanes in principle but resist changes that reduce parking.
