- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

About this chart
We group pedestrian injuries and deaths by the vehicle type that struck them (as recorded in police reports). Use the dropdown to view totals, serious injuries, or deaths.
- Trucks/Buses, SUVs/Cars, Mopeds, and Bikes reflect the reporting categories in the crash dataset.
- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians are not shown here.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year-to-year variance.
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.

Blood on Third Avenue, Silence at City Hall
District 38: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 7, 2025
On Sep 21, 2025, about 12:40 PM, a 29-year-old on a motorcycle was ejected and seriously hurt on the Belt Parkway ramp. Police recorded driver distraction in the crash report (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Sep 14, 2nd Avenue at 9th Street: a driver going at unsafe speed and disregarding a signal killed a 34-year-old, police say (CrashID 4842335).
- Aug 6, 86th Street at 18th Avenue: a driver disregarded traffic control and killed a 76-year-old woman in the crosswalk (CrashID 4833274).
The toll here, not elsewhere
Since 2022, District 38 has recorded 31 deaths and 4,343 injuries in 7,373 crashes. Thirteen of the dead were people walking; five were people on bikes (NYC Open Data).
Drivers keep killing at known corners. On 4th Avenue, there have been 6 deaths and 336 injuries. On 3rd Avenue, 2 deaths and 223 injuries (district analysis).
Police name causes we can fix. “Failure to yield” and “disregarded traffic control” appear across fatal files here, including the Sep 14 death at 2nd and 9th where speed and a blown signal were recorded (CrashID 4842335).
Third Avenue is a promise still waiting
Neighbors and electeds stood on Third Avenue this summer and asked for long-delayed fixes. “The Third Avenue corridor has been persistently dangerous… We have the tools to majorly reduce this violence, but it’s up to the mayor’s office to use them,” said Council Member Alexa Avilés (BKReader).
A day earlier, she called for “real political will and real capital investment” after another hit-and-run on that corridor (Brooklyn Paper). The DOT’s plan has sat for years. The crashes did not.
Clear sightlines, tame turns, slow the cars
City Hall has tools on the table:
- Daylight the corners. Avilés co-sponsors a bill to ban parking within 20 feet of crosswalks and build barriers at 1,000 intersections a year (Int 1138-2024).
- Remove street clutter fast. She voted yes to tow derelict and unregistered vehicles within 72 hours, clearing blocked crosswalks and views (Int 0857-2024).
- Add speed humps near parks, as proposed in a bill she co-sponsors (Int 0262-2024).
These are local moves fit for 4th Avenue, 3rd Avenue, and the maze under the Gowanus. They protect people walking and biking where the bodies keep falling.
Stop waiting for the worst drivers to find you
A small group of drivers does outsized harm. State lawmakers have a bill to force repeat speeders to slow down with in-car limiters after a defined threshold. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would require ISA for anyone with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year. One driver with 29 camera tickets killed a mother and her two daughters in Brooklyn this April, reported the Daily News (CrashCount Take Action).
District 38’s State Senator is Steve Chan and its Assembly Member is Lester Chang. Will they back it this session? What gives if they don’t?
Lower the default. Save the next person in the crosswalk.
The city can set safer speeds. DOT has begun rolling out 20 MPH zones after Sammy’s Law. But we still move at deadly speed on too many streets. A citywide 20 would give people on foot a chance to live the hit. You can press City Hall to use the power it already has (CrashCount Take Action).
The woman at 86th and 18th did not get that chance. Nor did the man at 2nd and 9th. The ramp rider is still alive. For now.

Avilés Calls Adams Veto Misguided Backs Safety‑boosting Vending Reform▸Aug 26 - Mayor Adams vetoed a council push to decriminalize street vending. Vendors clustered on the narrow Brooklyn Bridge walkway. Crowding squeezes pedestrians, collides with cyclists and strollers, and can impede emergency movement, raising crash and injury risk.
""There are immense barriers to entry for the often working-class and immigrant New Yorkers that populate our city as street vendors,"" -- Alexa Avilés
Bill: City Council package to decriminalize street vending (file number not provided). Status: vetoed by Mayor Eric Adams (veto reported last month). Committee: Committee on Immigration, chaired by Council Member Alexa Aviles. Key dates: vendors observed Aug. 25, 2025; story published Aug. 26, 2025. The article ran under the headline, "Defying a NYC ban, illegal vending thrives on iconic Brooklyn Bridge this summer." Adams issued the veto. Aviles and supporters pushed the decriminalization package and criticized enforcement barriers. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez warned vendors impede pedestrian mobility. Safety analysts note: illegal vending clusters on the narrow walkway, reduces pedestrian space, creates conflicts with cyclists and strollers, and can impede emergency movement—raising crash and injury risk.

Avilés Calls Adams Veto Misguided Backs Safety‑boosting Vending Reform▸Aug 26 - Mayor Adams vetoed a council push to decriminalize street vending. Vendors clustered on the narrow Brooklyn Bridge walkway. Crowding squeezes pedestrians, collides with cyclists and strollers, and can impede emergency movement, raising crash and injury risk.
""There are immense barriers to entry for the often working-class and immigrant New Yorkers that populate our city as street vendors,"" -- Alexa Avilés
Bill: City Council package to decriminalize street vending (file number not provided). Status: vetoed by Mayor Eric Adams (veto reported last month). Committee: Committee on Immigration, chaired by Council Member Alexa Aviles. Key dates: vendors observed Aug. 25, 2025; story published Aug. 26, 2025. The article ran under the headline, "Defying a NYC ban, illegal vending thrives on iconic Brooklyn Bridge this summer." Adams issued the veto. Aviles and supporters pushed the decriminalization package and criticized enforcement barriers. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez warned vendors impede pedestrian mobility. Safety analysts note: illegal vending clusters on the narrow walkway, reduces pedestrian space, creates conflicts with cyclists and strollers, and can impede emergency movement—raising crash and injury risk.

Avilés Calls Adams Veto Misguided Backs Safety‑boosting Vending Reform▸Aug 26 - Mayor Adams vetoed a council push to decriminalize street vending. Vendors clustered on the narrow Brooklyn Bridge walkway. Crowding squeezes pedestrians, collides with cyclists and strollers, and can impede emergency movement, raising crash and injury risk.
""There are immense barriers to entry for the often working-class and immigrant New Yorkers that populate our city as street vendors,"" -- Alexa Avilés
Bill: City Council package to decriminalize street vending (file number not provided). Status: vetoed by Mayor Eric Adams (veto reported last month). Committee: Committee on Immigration, chaired by Council Member Alexa Aviles. Key dates: vendors observed Aug. 25, 2025; story published Aug. 26, 2025. The article ran under the headline, "Defying a NYC ban, illegal vending thrives on iconic Brooklyn Bridge this summer." Adams issued the veto. Aviles and supporters pushed the decriminalization package and criticized enforcement barriers. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez warned vendors impede pedestrian mobility. Safety analysts note: illegal vending clusters on the narrow walkway, reduces pedestrian space, creates conflicts with cyclists and strollers, and can impede emergency movement—raising crash and injury risk.

Avilés Calls Adams Veto Misguided Backs Safety‑boosting Vending Reform▸Aug 26 - Mayor Adams vetoed a council push to decriminalize street vending. Vendors clustered on the narrow Brooklyn Bridge walkway. Crowding squeezes pedestrians, collides with cyclists and strollers, and can impede emergency movement, raising crash and injury risk.
""There are immense barriers to entry for the often working-class and immigrant New Yorkers that populate our city as street vendors,"" -- Alexa Avilés
Bill: City Council package to decriminalize street vending (file number not provided). Status: vetoed by Mayor Eric Adams (veto reported last month). Committee: Committee on Immigration, chaired by Council Member Alexa Aviles. Key dates: vendors observed Aug. 25, 2025; story published Aug. 26, 2025. The article ran under the headline, "Defying a NYC ban, illegal vending thrives on iconic Brooklyn Bridge this summer." Adams issued the veto. Aviles and supporters pushed the decriminalization package and criticized enforcement barriers. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez warned vendors impede pedestrian mobility. Safety analysts note: illegal vending clusters on the narrow walkway, reduces pedestrian space, creates conflicts with cyclists and strollers, and can impede emergency movement—raising crash and injury risk.
