Left turns, late nights, and lives on the line in Queens CB7

Left turns, late nights, and lives on the line in Queens CB7

Queens CB7: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 1, 2025

Just after noon on Sep 26, at College Point Boulevard and 41st Avenue, a driver in a sedan hit a man walking at the intersection. He went down with abrasions to his arm, police records show (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • That same morning at Franklin Avenue and Union Street, a driver in an SUV moved into a parking spot and hit a woman on an e‑bike (NYC Open Data).
  • The evening before at Main Street and Elder Avenue, a driver making a left turn hit a 3‑year‑old girl and a 28‑year‑old woman who were crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
  • The night before that at 162nd Street and 43rd Avenue, a driver turning left in a sedan hit a man who was crossing with the signal (NYC Open Data).

The pattern: people walking pay

Since 2022, in Queens CB7, people walking were hurt in 997 crashes and killed 16 times; 39 suffered serious injuries (NYC Open Data). People on bikes faced 315 injuries and 3 deaths in 308 crashes over the same period (NYC Open Data).

Police records list failure to yield in at least 101 injury crashes here, with 8 serious injuries and 1 death tied to that charge against drivers (NYC Open Data). Deaths cluster in the evening: the 7–10 PM hours account for the heaviest toll, peaking around 9 PM (NYC Open Data).

Hot corridors keep showing up. Northern Boulevard logs 3 deaths and 195 injuries. College Point Boulevard shows 2 deaths and 152 injuries. The Whitestone Expressway tops the list with 3 deaths and 350 injuries (NYC Open Data).

Left turns, hard facts

In the past month alone, two left‑turning drivers hit people who were crossing with the signal at Main Street/Elder Avenue and 43rd Avenue/162nd Street. One victim was a small child. Police cited failure to yield in one case and documented the left‑turn movements in both (NYC Open Data).

The fixes are not exotic: hardened left turns, daylighted corners, leading pedestrian intervals, and protected crossings at the repeat sites on Northern Boulevard, College Point Boulevard, and Main Street. Targeted evening enforcement where deaths spike would meet the data. So would truck and SUV turning controls where injuries mount. These are choices.

Who’s protecting whom

This board sits under Council District 19. On Aug 14, 2025, Council Member Vickie Paladino sponsored a bill to strip protected bike and bus lane benchmarks from the city’s Streets Master Plan (NYC Council – Legistar). The matter summary states: “This bill would remove the bus lane and bike lane quotas from the Streets Master Plan.”

State Senator John Liu co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee for S 4045, a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for repeat dangerous drivers (Open States). Assembly Member Ron Kim has stood on these same blocks after a child was killed, saying, “We’ve always recognized there was a problem on this block” (Streetsblog NYC).

The data here line up with those stakes. Drivers failing to yield. Evening deaths. Children in the crosswalk.

What must change now

Citywide tools match the harm: lower default speeds and rein in repeat speeders. New York can act. A citywide 20 MPH default and speed‑limiters for habitual offenders are concrete steps that match the pattern we see at Main, Northern, and College Point. The fight is live; here’s how to push it. See our guide and take one step today: /take_action/.
