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.

District 41: Crosswalk deaths, turning cars, and a city that won’t slow down
District 41: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Pedestrians die here. Since 2022, four people were killed in District 41. Most were on foot. Another 3,422 were hurt. The city logged 5,804 crashes in this span, with injuries peaking around the rush into night.
“A driver struck and killed a 47-year-old pedestrian… then left the scene,” police said.
“As the fight escalated, he landed on the train tracks and was struck by an oncoming train,” police said. EMS pronounced him dead at the scene.
“No criminality is suspected in either case,” police said, after two separate subway deaths an hour apart.
These deaths sit with the others on our streets. The pattern does not blink.
Where the bodies fall
At Rutland Road and E. 95th Street, a left-turning sedan hit a 68-year-old woman who was crossing with the signal. She died. The NYPD coded the cause as driver distraction. The car’s front end took her chest. The record is bare and cold. NYC Open Data lists it as CrashID 4812813.
At Sutter Avenue and Osborn Street, two months earlier, a 72-year-old man crossing with the signal was killed at the intersection. Three vehicles are in the file. The sheet does not say who had the light. It does not need to. He is dead. CrashID 4811811.
On Church Avenue in 2022, a 79-year-old woman was struck by an unlicensed van driver while she was getting on or off a vehicle. She never woke up. CrashID 4579422.
Turning cars, heavy fronts
Pedestrians take the brunt from sedans and SUVs. In this district, sedans account for the largest share of pedestrian harm — at least 263 injured and two killed — with SUVs close behind, including one death. Trucks and buses maim too. The counts come straight from the city’s rollups. NYC Open Data.
Speed is a knife edge. In one crash on Pitkin Avenue at Strauss Street, a 29-year-old on a motorcycle died. Unsafe speed is written into the file. He was ejected. CrashID 4833031.
The clock matters too. Injuries stack up as day turns to night. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the map goes red: one death at 6 p.m., three at 7 p.m., then heavy injury counts through 9 p.m. That is when families cross for dinner and workers head home. District stats.
Corridors that keep breaking people
Ralph Avenue leads the district in injuries. So do Linden Boulevard, Eastern Parkway, East New York Avenue, and E. 98th Street. They are wide. They invite speed. People get hit. See the city’s list of top harm corridors. NYC Open Data.
The records also show a hit-and-run at Broadway and Suydam Street just outside the line. A man was dragged more than 50 feet. He died where he fell. Police are still looking for the driver. Gothamist and the Daily News both reported it.
What to fix at the corner
- Daylight the crosswalks on the worst blocks. Keep cars 20 feet back at corners so people can see and be seen. A Council bill would scale this up citywide; local members have co-sponsored stronger daylighting and backed clearing derelict cars fast, which block sightlines. Int. 1138-2024 (laid over); Int. 0857-2024 (passed).
- Harden left turns at intersections where turning cars killed people, including Rutland Rd at E. 95th St. Use slow-turn treatments and protection so drivers can’t sweep wide. The victims above were crossing with the signal. CrashIDs 4812813, 4811811.
- Target evening hours with enforcement and calming on Ralph Ave, Linden Blvd, and East New York Ave. That’s when and where bodies stack up. District hourly and corridor data.
Stop the repeat harm
The Council has moved some pieces. It also passed a law to track DOT’s safety work under the streets master plan, so delays are visible. The mayor left it unsigned; it became law. Int. 1105-2024.
Citywide, two steps would cut deeper:
- Lower the default speed limit on our streets. Slower crashes spare lives. New York now has the power. The question is will, not how. Take action.
- Put speed limiters on the worst repeat offenders. Mandate intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up violations before they kill again. Take action.
Names become numbers in the files. Four dead in this district since 2022. Evening comes. The light changes. The car turns. The body does not get up.
