Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in CB 302?

Preventable Speeding in CB 302 School Zones

Afternoon hit at Court and Wyckoff. The pattern holds.

Afternoon hit at Court and Wyckoff. The pattern holds.

Brooklyn CB2: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 24, 2025

About 3 PM on Oct 19, at Court St and Wyckoff St, a driver turning left in a sedan hit a 31‑year‑old man on a bike. Police records show he was hurt in the face and treated for shock (NYC Open Data).

He is one of 3,544 people injured and 16 killed on Brooklyn CB2 streets since Jan 1, 2022, across 7,320 crashes (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Oct 19: another person on a bike was hurt in a crash with a sedan in CB2, according to police data.
  • Oct 17: a taxi driver hit a man walking near Flatbush Ave; police recorded a pedestrian injury (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 10: a pickup driver hit a 43‑year‑old man working in the roadway on Atlantic Ave; police noted driver inattention and inexperience (NYC Open Data).

Afternoons cut deepest

The danger swells after lunch. Police logged the most injuries around 2 PM (273), with heavy harm from 1–4 PM. Evenings stay bloody, with steady injuries through the commute hours (NYC Open Data).

People walking and biking carry the pain: 638 cyclist injuries and 613 pedestrian injuries here since 2022. Four people walking were killed. No cyclist deaths, but the tally of broken bodies is its own count (NYC Open Data).

Corners that won’t let go

BQE ramps and frontage roads lead the harm with the most injuries and three deaths. Tillary Street and Fulton Street follow as stubborn hotspots (NYC Open Data).

Police reports in CB2 name actions we can fix: driver inattention/distraction tied to 48 injuries; failure to yield tied to 23; bad passing tied to 5. Each number is a person on the ground, not a chart point (NYC Open Data).

The levers already on the table

Speed cameras are staying on. Albany reauthorized NYC’s school‑zone camera program through 2030, keeping 24/7 enforcement in place (AMNY; Streetsblog NYC).

The next step is stopping repeat speeders. In Albany, the Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045) would force drivers with a record—11 or more DMV points in 24 months or six camera tickets in a year—to install speed‑limiting tech. State Sen. Jabari Brisport voted yes in committee. Assembly Member Phara Souffrant Forrest co‑sponsors the Assembly version (A 2299) (Open States).

What would make CB2 safer now

  • Protect the turns where people get hit: daylighting, hardened corners, and lead pedestrian intervals at BQE access, on Tillary Street, and along Fulton Street.
  • Target afternoon enforcement at left‑turn failure‑to‑yield and distracted driving where the injuries peak.
  • Build and maintain physical protection for bike riders on the Court–Wyckoff approach and other known desire lines.

Accountability

This board sits inside Council District 35. Cameras are law through 2030. The limiter bill is alive. The tools exist. The bodies keep coming.

One man on a bike at Court and Wyckoff is not a blip. He is part of a line that does not break. Help bend it: take action.

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes, Persons, Vehicles). Filters: date=2022‑01‑01 to 2025‑10‑24; geography=Brooklyn Community Board 2; modes and severities per the dataset fields. We counted injuries, deaths, and crashes from the Crashes and Persons tables, and used the area’s small‑area summary for hotspots and hourly trends. Data were extracted Oct 24, 2025. You can start from the Crashes dataset here and apply the same filters.
