- ≥ 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.

She had the walk. The SUV turned right.
District 26: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 5, 2025
Just before 1 PM on Aug 31, at 30 St and 39 Ave, an SUV making a right turn struck a woman in the crosswalk. NYPD data lists “Failure to Yield Right-of-Way.” She died at the scene (NYC Open Data).
She is one of 6 pedestrians killed in Council District 26 since 2022. Across all modes, the district counts 20 traffic deaths and 3,906 injuries in that span (NYC Open Data).
SUVs lead the harm for people on foot here, tied to 176 pedestrian injuries, including 3 deaths (NYC Open Data).
Where it keeps happening
Queens Boulevard. Northern Boulevard. The Brooklyn‑Queens Expressway. These are among the district’s worst locations by injuries and deaths (NYC Open Data).
Deaths spike late in the day. The records show fatalities at 5 PM and 6 PM, with more at 10 AM and 10 PM, a pattern that repeats year after year in this data window (NYC Open Data).
On July 18, 2024, a box‑truck driver turned right at Greenpoint Ave and 43 St and killed a 28‑year‑old cyclist. The listed factor was driver inattention (NYC Open Data).
The trend won’t quit
This year to date, crashes in District 26 are up 20.4% versus last year’s pace; injuries are up 22.5%. Recorded deaths are lower, but the bodies on the table still count as one each (NYC Open Data).
Right‑turn strikes keep showing up in the records. Failure to yield keeps showing up too—exact words from the city’s own fields in last week’s fatal crash at 30 St and 39 Ave (NYC Open Data).
The fixes are on the table
Daylighting the corners. Hardening the turns. Keeping trucks in check on tight, mixed‑use streets. These are not theories; they are standard tools the city already uses, often too slowly.
Council Member Julie Won backs a citywide daylighting bill, which would ban parking within 20 feet of crosswalks and add barriers at 1,000 intersections a year (Int 1138‑2024). “It isn’t unreasonable to invest under $10k to save the lives of children and all pedestrians with daylighting?” she said in August (Streetsblog NYC).
The same corner tools would have helped at 30 St and 39 Ave, where a right turn met a crosswalk.
Who moves now
Your Council Member is Julie Won. Your Albany delegation includes Assembly Member Steven Raga (AD 30) and State Senator Michael Gianaris (SD 12). The public record here shows Won co‑sponsoring the daylighting bill (Int 1138‑2024). The record shown here does not list positions by Raga or Gianaris on a state bill to rein in repeat speeders. What gives?
Citywide, we also need slower default speeds and to force the worst offenders to slow down. Both steps are laid out with contacts and scripts on our Take Action page.
One woman died at 30 St and 39 Ave. The next turn is ours to fix.
