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.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.
CloseUnion Turnpike, a girl on a bike
Queens CB8: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
A 13‑year‑old on a bike was hit at Union Turnpike and 193rd Street on Sep 5. Police records list her injuries as abrasions to the leg and knee, severity level 3 (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Sep 4: a driver in a Ford SUV making a left turn hit a 75‑year‑old man crossing at 70th Avenue and 147th Street; injury severity level 3 (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 1: a driver in a Lexus sedan and a 14‑year‑old on a bike collided at 73rd Avenue and 197th Street; injury severity level 3 (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 18: a driver in a Honda sedan and a 42‑year‑old on a bike crashed at Union Turnpike and 134th Street; injury severity level 3 (NYC Open Data).
The running count
Since Jan 1, 2022 in Queens Community Board 8, there have been 5,605 crashes, leaving 3,365 people injured and 16 dead (NYC Open Data). The dead include 4 people walking and 1 person on a bike; car occupants make up the rest, per police classifications in the same dataset.
This year, crashes in this area total 1,162 year‑to‑date, up from 1,089 at this point last year; injuries stand at 742 vs 787 a year ago; deaths are 1 vs 3 (NYC Open Data).
Corners that keep breaking us
Police mapped the worst harm along the expressways that cut through this district: the Grand Central Parkway and the Long Island Expressway. Together they account for hundreds of injuries and multiple deaths since 2022 (NYC Open Data). On local streets, 73rd Avenue also shows repeated severe outcomes in the data.
Injuries pile up during the 2 PM and 5 PM hours—235 and 220 injuries respectively across the period—when streets fill and turning drivers meet people crossing (NYC Open Data). Police frequently record driver inattention and failure to yield in these crashes on local streets, including left‑turn strikes like the one at 70th Avenue and 147th Street (NYC Open Data).
Stop the pattern
One line is enough here. “Speed kills.” That is the call from advocates pushing the city to use its authority to lower residential limits to 20 MPH (CrashCount: Take Action).
Habitual speeders make it worse. Analysis cited by advocates shows a small share of drivers rack up camera tickets and are far more likely to kill or seriously injure. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would require repeat violators to install speed limiters (Open States: S 4045, CrashCount: Take Action).
Who moves, who stalls
This is State Senator John Liu’s district. He co‑sponsored S 4045 and voted yes in committee in June 2025 (Open States: S 4045). In the Assembly, this area is represented by Nily Rozic, who voted yes to extend the city’s school speed camera program (S 8344) in June 2025 (Streetsblog NYC). The district also overlaps Council District 23, where Council Member Linda Lee backed a bill to let ambulettes drive and double‑park in bus lanes—moves that risk more curb conflicts without a documented safety review (NYC Council Legistar).
The facts on the ground do not bend. People walking and biking keep getting hit on Union Turnpike, 73rd Avenue, and around our schools. The tools exist. Use them.
Take one step now. Tell City Hall and Albany to slow our streets and rein in repeat speeders: act here (CrashCount: Take Action).

Falling Subway Debris Strikes Car In Queens▸Apr 21 - Metal bolts crashed through a windshield in Queens. Glass exploded over the passenger. The No. 7 train rumbled above. Danger rained down. This was not the first time. The system failed to shield those below.
ABC7 reported on April 21, 2025, that debris from the No. 7 subway train fell onto a car at Queens Plaza, shattering the windshield and denting the hood. Rahimi, the driver, said, "We were driving right off here. Something fell off the train, damaging the windshield." Passenger Malnick described, "A bolt hit and then right away just the sound of glass exploding and glass all over me." The incident echoes previous cases: in 2019, falling debris from elevated tracks struck vehicles three times in a month. The MTA responded then by intensifying inspections, but the problem persists. The agency now says it is investigating and will inspect the area. The repeated incidents highlight ongoing risks from aging infrastructure above city streets.
