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.

An 8‑year‑old hit at Crescent and Hill. The pattern is older than him.
District 37: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 8, 2025
Just after midday on Oct 2, 2025, at Crescent Street and Hill Street, the driver of a 2026 Tesla sedan going straight hit an 8‑year‑old crossing at the intersection. Police recorded severe bleeding and a serious injury from the crash report.
In the past month, that child was one of many hurt on these streets. Since Jan 1, 2022, District 37 has seen 8,635 crashes, 4,673 injuries, and 15 deaths, according to city data compiled here.
Where the street turns mean
Atlantic Avenue and Bushwick Avenue stand out for harm. City records tie hundreds of injuries and multiple deaths to those corridors in this district NYC Open Data.
Evenings cut deepest. This dataset shows two deaths around 6 PM and two more around 8 PM, with additional deaths across late hours NYC Open Data.
Police often log driver errors we know how to fix: failure to yield and drivers blowing signals both appear in the record here NYC Open Data.
The human toll, in plain numbers
People walking bear a brutal share: 4 pedestrian deaths and 759 injuries since 2022 in this district NYC Open Data.
People on bikes are not spared either: 1 bicyclist death and 372 injuries in the same period NYC Open Data.
Each figure is a body on the pavement. A family at a hospital door. The numbers do not flinch; they do not heal.
What leaders have said—and what they must do
Council Member Sandy Nurse backs a simple fix at corners: keep cars back from crosswalks. “Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers,” she said this summer City & State NY. Nurse also co‑sponsored the bill to ban parking within 20 feet of crosswalks and to add barriers at 1,000 intersections a year NYC Council Legistar.
Local fixes flow straight from the map:
- Daylight the worst corners on Atlantic Avenue and Bushwick Avenue. Add hardened turns and longer walk leads at their crossings NYC Open Data.
- Target the evening hours with enforcement where deaths cluster, focusing on failure‑to‑yield and red‑light running the data already flags NYC Open Data.
- Repeat the work at known hot spots, again and again. Do not move on until the injuries do.
Citywide steps that would save lives here
Two moves would change these streets fast: slow every street and stop the worst repeat offenders. The case is laid out here with specifics and citations, including a 20 MPH default and mandatory speed limiters for habitual speeders. Read it and act: Take Action.
District 37’s state delegation includes Assembly Member Maritza Davila and State Senator Julia Salazar. The Council Member here is Sandy Nurse. The bills and tools exist. The record above shows why delay costs lives.
One child at Crescent and Hill. Many names we will never print. Slow the cars. Clear the corners. Do the work now.
Act: Tell City Hall and Albany to move the lifesaving bills and redesigns already on the table: Take Action.
