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.

Downtown Brooklyn bleeds at the seams: Tillary, Flatbush, Atlantic
Downtown Brooklyn-Dumbo-Boerum Hill: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Tillary takes. Flatbush grinds. Atlantic does not forgive.
A 74‑year‑old man on an e‑bike died when a bus made a right at Tillary and Jay. The city record lists “E‑Bike” and “Bus.” It lists “Ejected.” It lists “Apparent Death.” The time was 8:15 p.m. on Nov. 6, 2024. The place was here. The turn was right. The man did not get up (city crash log).
At Flatbush Avenue and State Street, a 45‑year‑old woman riding in the back seat was killed. The SUV was stopped in traffic. A sedan came straight. She died at 11:04 p.m. on Feb. 28, 2025. The sheet says “Crush Injuries.” It says “Apparent Death” (city crash log).
The rest live, but hurt. Since 2022, this area logged 2,231 crashes, 1,005 injuries, and two deaths. Pedestrians: 183 hurt. Cyclists: 166 hurt. People in cars: 616 hurt. Heavy vehicles did their share: trucks and buses are tied to 33 pedestrian injuries in the record, bikes to 18, SUVs and cars to 126 (city rollup).
Where the street spits you out
Tillary Street leads the injury tally here with 54 injuries and three serious injuries. Flatbush Avenue Extension shows 53 injuries and two serious injuries. Navy Street and Court Street also carry pain (hotspots).
Danger peaks in the late afternoon. From 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., injuries stack up hour by hour, hitting an 86‑injury spike at 2 p.m. Two deaths in this span landed at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. The clock does not matter. The body count comes either way (hourly pattern).
Failure to yield shows up in the files. So does inattention. So does improper passing. Unsafe speed appears in the case file where a rider on an e‑bike hit a woman crossing with the signal at Flatbush and Nevins; she suffered severe cuts. The sheet says the rider was unlicensed. It also says “Unsafe Speed” and “Passing or Lane Usage Improper” (case detail).
Children in the crosswalk
On Atlantic at Court, a 4‑year‑old boy crossing with the signal was hit by a left‑turning 2013 vehicle. The log lists “Failure to Yield Right‑of‑Way” and “Passenger Distraction.” He lived. He carries the entry “Crush Injuries” (intersection case).
At 501 Atlantic Avenue, a 67‑year‑old woman in the marked crosswalk was struck. The driver’s sheet reads “Driver Inattention/Distraction” and “Failure to Yield.” She suffered severe cuts. She was conscious. She also had the walk (intersection case).
This is not a riddle. Cars turn. People cross. The paint does not stop steel.
What City Hall has on paper
At City Hall, Council Member Lincoln Restler put his name on a resolution to let cameras ticket owners for posted parking rules. The stated aim is fewer illegal blockers. It sits in committee. The text calls on Albany to pass A.5440. The Council file is dated Aug. 14, 2025 (council record).
He also co‑sponsored a bill to force DOT to install school‑zone safety devices within 60 days after a study finding. Introduced the same day. Still in committee (bill file).
In Albany, lawmakers renewed New York City’s school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. One sponsor, Senator Andrew Gounardes, backed it. The city’s own numbers tied cameras to sharp drops in speeding and severe injuries, according to coverage on June 30, 2025 (Streetsblog; AMNY).
Gounardes also sponsored and voted yes in committee to require speed limiters for repeat violators under S 4045 in June 2025. The summary says it targets drivers who rack up points or repeated camera tickets. It passed committee votes on June 11–12 (Senate file).
What would stop the next siren on Tillary
- Daylight the corners and harden the turns at Tillary, Jay, and the Flatbush Avenue Extension. These are the injury leaders.
- Give walkers a head start at Atlantic and Court and across Flatbush. The case files list left turns, failed yields, and distraction.
- Target the late‑day hours for enforcement at the known peaks. The city’s clock data points to the 2–6 p.m. window.
Then tackle the citywide pattern that feeds these corners:
- Lower the default speed limit. Albany already renewed cameras citywide through 2030. The data tied them to fewer severe injuries where placed (Streetsblog).
- Pass and enforce speed limiters for repeat offenders. S 4045 is written for that. It cleared Senate committees with a yes from its sponsor (Senate file).
The map of Downtown Brooklyn is a ledger. Tillary. Flatbush. Atlantic. Names we know. Bodies we do not.
Take one step that counts. Tell City Hall and Albany to act now. Start here: Take Action.

Restler co-sponsors expansion of bike parking stations, improving overall safety.▸Sep 10 - Int. 1375 orders DOT to install 5,000 bike parking stations over five years. 1,000 a year. 400 on commercial blocks. It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years. Tiffany Cabán is the primary sponsor; Lincoln Restler and Gale A. Brewer are co-sponsors. Safety analysts note that expanding secure, well-sited bike parking—especially on commercial blocks and in underserved areas—supports mode shift, reduces sidewalk clutter from ad hoc parking, and improves end-of-trip safety; impact will be strongest if DOT prioritizes curb/roadway placement over sidewalks to protect pedestrian space.

Restler Backs Safety‑Boosting Owner Liability Camera Bill▸Aug 14 - Res 1024 urges Albany to pass A.5440. Cameras would ticket vehicle owners for illegal parking. Enforcement clears bike lanes, crosswalks and corners. It restores space and visibility for people walking and biking.
"calls upon the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." -- Lincoln Restler
Res 1024-2025 (file: Res 1024-2025) is a Council sponsorship resolution referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and entered August 14, 2025. It "calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." Council Member Lincoln Restler sponsored the resolution. A.5440, sponsored in the State Assembly by Steven Raga, would authorize a six-year DOT camera pilot and shift fines to vehicle owners. City analysts say automated owner-liability enforcement will discourage illegal parking that blocks bike lanes, crosswalks, and corners, improving visibility and space for people walking and biking and aiding transit reliability.

Restler Backs Safety‑Boosting Owner Liability Camera Bill▸Aug 14 - Res 1024 urges Albany to pass A.5440. Cameras would ticket vehicle owners for illegal parking. Enforcement clears bike lanes, crosswalks and corners. It restores space and visibility for people walking and biking.
"calls upon the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." -- Lincoln Restler
Res 1024-2025 (file: Res 1024-2025) is a Council sponsorship resolution referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and entered August 14, 2025. It "calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." Council Member Lincoln Restler sponsored the resolution. A.5440, sponsored in the State Assembly by Steven Raga, would authorize a six-year DOT camera pilot and shift fines to vehicle owners. City analysts say automated owner-liability enforcement will discourage illegal parking that blocks bike lanes, crosswalks, and corners, improving visibility and space for people walking and biking and aiding transit reliability.

Restler co-sponsors expansion of bike parking stations, improving overall safety.▸Sep 10 - Int. 1375 orders DOT to install 5,000 bike parking stations over five years. 1,000 a year. 400 on commercial blocks. It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years. Tiffany Cabán is the primary sponsor; Lincoln Restler and Gale A. Brewer are co-sponsors. Safety analysts note that expanding secure, well-sited bike parking—especially on commercial blocks and in underserved areas—supports mode shift, reduces sidewalk clutter from ad hoc parking, and improves end-of-trip safety; impact will be strongest if DOT prioritizes curb/roadway placement over sidewalks to protect pedestrian space.

Res 1024-2025 (file: Res 1024-2025) is a Council sponsorship resolution referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and entered August 14, 2025.

It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years. Tiffany Cabán is the primary sponsor; Lincoln Restler and Gale A. Brewer are co-sponsors. Safety analysts note that expanding secure, well-sited bike parking—especially on commercial blocks and in underserved areas—supports mode shift, reduces sidewalk clutter from ad hoc parking, and improves end-of-trip safety; impact will be strongest if DOT prioritizes curb/roadway placement over sidewalks to protect pedestrian space.

It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years. Tiffany Cabán is the primary sponsor; Lincoln Restler and Gale A. Brewer are co-sponsors. Safety analysts note that expanding secure, well-sited bike parking—especially on commercial blocks and in underserved areas—supports mode shift, reduces sidewalk clutter from ad hoc parking, and improves end-of-trip safety; impact will be strongest if DOT prioritizes curb/roadway placement over sidewalks to protect pedestrian space.

"calls upon the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." -- Lincoln Restler
Res 1024-2025 (file: Res 1024-2025) is a Council sponsorship resolution referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and entered August 14, 2025. It "calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." Council Member Lincoln Restler sponsored the resolution. A.5440, sponsored in the State Assembly by Steven Raga, would authorize a six-year DOT camera pilot and shift fines to vehicle owners. City analysts say automated owner-liability enforcement will discourage illegal parking that blocks bike lanes, crosswalks, and corners, improving visibility and space for people walking and biking and aiding transit reliability.

Restler Backs Safety‑Boosting Owner Liability Camera Bill▸Aug 14 - Res 1024 urges Albany to pass A.5440. Cameras would ticket vehicle owners for illegal parking. Enforcement clears bike lanes, crosswalks and corners. It restores space and visibility for people walking and biking.
"calls upon the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." -- Lincoln Restler
Res 1024-2025 (file: Res 1024-2025) is a Council sponsorship resolution referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and entered August 14, 2025. It "calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." Council Member Lincoln Restler sponsored the resolution. A.5440, sponsored in the State Assembly by Steven Raga, would authorize a six-year DOT camera pilot and shift fines to vehicle owners. City analysts say automated owner-liability enforcement will discourage illegal parking that blocks bike lanes, crosswalks, and corners, improving visibility and space for people walking and biking and aiding transit reliability.

It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years. Tiffany Cabán is the primary sponsor; Lincoln Restler and Gale A. Brewer are co-sponsors. Safety analysts note that expanding secure, well-sited bike parking—especially on commercial blocks and in underserved areas—supports mode shift, reduces sidewalk clutter from ad hoc parking, and improves end-of-trip safety; impact will be strongest if DOT prioritizes curb/roadway placement over sidewalks to protect pedestrian space.

Restler Backs Safety‑Boosting Owner Liability Camera Bill▸Aug 14 - Res 1024 urges Albany to pass A.5440. Cameras would ticket vehicle owners for illegal parking. Enforcement clears bike lanes, crosswalks and corners. It restores space and visibility for people walking and biking.
"calls upon the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." -- Lincoln Restler
Res 1024-2025 (file: Res 1024-2025) is a Council sponsorship resolution referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and entered August 14, 2025. It "calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." Council Member Lincoln Restler sponsored the resolution. A.5440, sponsored in the State Assembly by Steven Raga, would authorize a six-year DOT camera pilot and shift fines to vehicle owners. City analysts say automated owner-liability enforcement will discourage illegal parking that blocks bike lanes, crosswalks, and corners, improving visibility and space for people walking and biking and aiding transit reliability.

Sep 10 - Int. 1375 orders DOT to install 5,000 bike parking stations over five years. 1,000 a year. 400 on commercial blocks. It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years. Tiffany Cabán is the primary sponsor; Lincoln Restler and Gale A. Brewer are co-sponsors. Safety analysts note that expanding secure, well-sited bike parking—especially on commercial blocks and in underserved areas—supports mode shift, reduces sidewalk clutter from ad hoc parking, and improves end-of-trip safety; impact will be strongest if DOT prioritizes curb/roadway placement over sidewalks to protect pedestrian space.

Restler Backs Safety‑Boosting Owner Liability Camera Bill▸Aug 14 - Res 1024 urges Albany to pass A.5440. Cameras would ticket vehicle owners for illegal parking. Enforcement clears bike lanes, crosswalks and corners. It restores space and visibility for people walking and biking.
"calls upon the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." -- Lincoln Restler
Res 1024-2025 (file: Res 1024-2025) is a Council sponsorship resolution referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and entered August 14, 2025. It "calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." Council Member Lincoln Restler sponsored the resolution. A.5440, sponsored in the State Assembly by Steven Raga, would authorize a six-year DOT camera pilot and shift fines to vehicle owners. City analysts say automated owner-liability enforcement will discourage illegal parking that blocks bike lanes, crosswalks, and corners, improving visibility and space for people walking and biking and aiding transit reliability.

Restler Calls Out Adams Aide Over Safety-boosting Redesign▸Aug 25 - Locals rallied after indictments allege a mayoral aide took bribes to derail DOT’s McGuinness road diet. DOT had approved removing a vehicle lane for parking‑protected bike lanes. The compromise went through instead. Cyclists and pedestrians remain exposed. Activists demand the original redesign now.
No bill number. Status: advocacy/sponsorship. Committee: N/A. Key date: Aug 25, 2025 (rally and reporting). The matter was headlined: “’Now is the time’: Locals demand full redesign of McGuinness Boulevard after bribery allegations.” The story names former Adams advisor Ingrid Lewis‑Martin in indictments and alleges she pushed DOT to water down a plan that would have removed a vehicle lane and installed parking‑protected bike lanes. Council Member Lincoln Restler criticized Lewis‑Martin and urged safety for every block. Activist Bronwyn Breitner and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani demanded the full redesign. No formal safety‑impact assessment or safety_impact_note was included in the report.
