About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- 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.

Seaview and Remsen: another body, same streets
Canarsie Park & Pier: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 4, 2025
Just after 7 PM on Aug 1, a driver was hurt at Seaview and Remsen. City records list head pain and a westbound SUV in the crash log (CrashID 4832489) (NYC Open Data).
They are one of the 332 people injured across 382 crashes in Canarsie Park & Pier since 2022 (NYC Open Data). This year, injuries are up to 83 from 73 at this point last year, and crashes are up to 83 from 77 — a 13.7% and 7.8% rise, respectively (NYC Open Data).
Where the bodies get broken
Belt Parkway tops this map with 195 injuries tied to it. Seaview Avenue, Shore Parkway, and Rockaway Parkway follow (NYC Open Data). At Seaview and E 93 Street, a 34‑year‑old pedestrian crossing with the signal was hit by a left‑turning sedan; the log flags driver distraction (CrashID 4817861) (NYC Open Data). At Rockaway Parkway and Shore Parkway, a turning SUV struck a pedestrian who had the signal; the report cites failure to yield (CrashID 4699623) (NYC Open Data).
Most pedestrian injuries here involve SUVs and sedans — 9 of 13 in the period tallied (NYC Open Data).
The clock tells on us
Injuries spike around 3 PM and again near midnight in this area’s records, with heavy counts also at 2 PM and 11 AM (NYC Open Data). Night conditions keep showing up in the patterns noted for this zone.
That Aug 1 crash at Seaview and Remsen was not the first there this summer. On Jul 20 at the same corner, a westbound sedan hit a man pushing a car; both were knocked unconscious, the log says (CrashID 4829299) (NYC Open Data).
Simple fixes, named corners
Turn crashes at Rockaway Parkway and Shore Parkway call for daylighting and hardened turns so drivers see people in the crosswalks. Signals at Seaview Avenue corners need leading pedestrian intervals to put walkers out front before the turn starts. Along Belt Parkway ramps and service roads, the nighttime injury pattern argues for lighting and targeted enforcement. These interventions match what the records show: turning drivers failing to yield and people hit while they have the walk.
Who moves first
This district’s electeds know the levers. State Senator Roxanne Persaud voted yes in committee for the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045), which would force repeat speeders to use speed limiters (Open States). Assembly Member Jaime Williams voted to extend school speed zones this year, according to the record. Council Member Mercedes Narcisse backed legal jaywalking reforms and has pushed other traffic bills through Council hearings.
The next steps are on the table. Lower the city default speed limit and pass the speed limiter bill for repeat violators. Slow the turns at Seaview. Protect the crossings on Rockaway. Fix the ramps that feed the Belt. Then check the logs again.
One call helps move it. Start here.

Punitive enforcement may cut informal transit, push riders to cars and ride‑hail, and raise vehicle volumes that endanger pedestrians and cyclists.
Bill: Int 1347-2025. Status: Sponsorship; sits in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced and referred August 14, 2025.

Punitive enforcement may cut informal transit, push riders to cars and ride‑hail, and raise vehicle volumes that endanger pedestrians and cyclists.
Bill: Int 1347-2025. Status: Sponsorship; sits in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced and referred August 14, 2025.

The law orders TLC, with NYPD and DOT, to maintain a checklist and requires officers to issue maximum fines for each violation. It takes effect 120 days after enactment.

Narcisse co-sponsors crackdown on unlicensed commuter vans, worsening overall street safety.▸Aug 14 - Int 1347-2025 orders TLC, NYPD and DOT to use a compliance checklist and levy maximum fines on unlicensed commuter vans. Punitive enforcement may cut informal transit, push riders to cars and ride‑hail, and raise vehicle volumes that endanger pedestrians and cyclists.
Bill: Int 1347-2025. Status: Sponsorship; sits in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced and referred August 14, 2025. The matter: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to enforcing violations against unlicensed commuter vans." Primary sponsor Nantasha M. Williams; co-sponsors Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, Mercedes Narcisse, and Chris Banks. The law orders TLC, with NYPD and DOT, to maintain a checklist and requires officers to issue maximum fines for each violation. It takes effect 120 days after enactment. A safety assessment warns this punitive approach may reduce informal transit in underserved areas, shift trips to private cars and ride‑hail, and increase traffic volumes that endanger pedestrians and cyclists; it adds policing without system-wide safety gains.
