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

Four victims in two nights. One board. One choice: slow the streets.
Brooklyn CB4: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 12, 2025
Just after 10 AM on Aug 30 at Wyckoff and Halsey, a driver in a Jeep hit a 28‑year‑old woman in the crosswalk and left her with leg wounds police records show.
This week:
- About 3 AM the same day, a man riding west on Troutman at Cypress hit the front of a southbound sedan and was seriously hurt, head lacerations noted in the report (source).
- About 1:30 AM, a driver in a Toyota SUV going south on Wyckoff hit a 39‑year‑old man mid‑block near Starr; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (source).
- The night before, about 11:30 PM, a driver turning left from Central onto Weirfield hit a 38‑year‑old cyclist going straight; police cited driver inattention (source).
Since Jan 1, 2022, 8 people have been killed and 1,891 injured in crashes in Brooklyn Community Board 4, with 24 recorded serious injuries (NYC Open Data). Year to date, crashes are up 22.7% and injuries up 44.8% compared to last year; serious injuries quadrupled in the same window (same source).
Where the street breaks
Police logs tie many injuries here to drivers’ behavior: failure to yield, disregarding signals, and distraction are all recorded factors in CB4 crashes (NYC Open Data). Deadly hours repeat: deaths appear at 6 AM, 8–11 AM, and again at 5 PM, 7 PM, and 10 PM in the board’s own records (same source).
Hot spots stand out. Bushwick Avenue racks up injuries. So does Central Avenue, where two people have died in this period (open data). Heavy vehicles hit hard too: vans are linked to two pedestrian deaths in these years (persons data).
Proven fixes are on the table
One simple step: clear sightlines. Council Member Sandy Nurse has backed the city’s push to ban parking near crosswalks. “Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers,” she said (City & State NY). She also co‑sponsors a city bill to require it (Council file).
Other basics fit these corners: hardened left turns, leading pedestrian intervals, protected bike space on truck routes, and strict truck turning controls at intersections where pedestrians cross.
Stop the repeat offenders
State lawmakers have a tool aimed at the worst patterns. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force drivers with a record of violations to install speed limiters. State Senator Julia Salazar co‑sponsored the Senate bill and voted yes in committee (Open States). Assembly Member Maritza Davila co‑sponsors the Assembly companion (Open States).
The pattern on Wyckoff and Halsey is not a fluke. It is policy, or the lack of it. Clear the corners. Slow the cars. Pass and enforce the limiter law. Then go back to the first paragraph and make sure it does not happen again.
Take one step now. Ask your officials to act on daylighting and speed limiters: Take Action.

Aug 14 - Council bill sets a hard clock by schools. DOT must install approved calming or control devices within 60 days after its study, except major projects. Kids walk. Cars surge. Delay faces a limit.
Int 1353-2025 is in Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced August 14, 2025, and referred the same day. Sponsored by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez. The bill would “require the NYC Department of Transportation to complete installation of any necessary traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school, in no more than 60 days after DOT issues its traffic study determination.” It amends Administrative Code §19-188.2 by adding subdivision d. The mandate follows a DOT study and excludes devices installed as part of a “major transportation project” under §19-101.2. Faster fixes on school blocks. Fewer gaps where kids cross and wait.
