West 29th, late afternoon: a taxi and a man in the road
Midtown South-Flatiron-Union Square: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 5, 2025
Late afternoon on Oct 22, on West 29th Street near 122, the driver of a taxi hit a 35-year-old man who was not at an intersection. Police logged driver distraction in the record. Source.
In the past month, he was one of many here. Since 2022, this area has seen 3 people killed and 1,044 injured in reported crashes. Source.
This Week
- Oct 20, near Eighth Avenue, a van driver going straight hit a 66-year-old man who was not in the roadway; another vehicle was parked at the scene. Source
- Oct 19, at West 34th Street and Eighth Avenue, a driver in an SUV turned right and hit a 52-year-old man crossing with the signal; police cited failure to yield by the driver. Source
- Oct 15, at West 15th Street and Sixth Avenue, a driver hit a man crossing with the signal. Source
Where it keeps happening
Police reports tag people walking in 292 crashes here since 2022, with 1 killed and 336 injured. Source
Avenue of the Americas shows up as a repeat trouble spot. So does West 29th Street. Source
The 3 PM hour leads with 88 injuries. Early evening stays high. Source
What the records say about causes
Police most often note driver inattention and failure to yield in these crashes. “Unsafe speed” appears too. Source
Drivers of taxis are tied to at least 53 injuries to people walking here since 2022; drivers of SUVs to 64. Trucks, vans, bikes, and mopeds are in the mix. Source
Streets can change
On 34th Street, a car-free busway is now a city commitment secured by local Council Members. “The Administration commits to establishing a car-free 34th Street Busway,” the deal text read. Source
Council Member Erik Bottcher backed the busway push in this zone. Source
Laws can change
In Albany, Senator Liz Krueger co-sponsored and voted yes in committee on S 4045, a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for repeat dangerous drivers. Source
In the Assembly, Tony Simone co-sponsored the matching speed-limiter bill A 2299 and a bill (A 7997) to strengthen automated enforcement against obscured plates and extend speed cameras. S 4045, A 2299
What needs doing now
- Harden turns and add daylighting on Sixth Avenue and West 29th Street. Target left turns and failure-to-yield patterns recorded by police. Source
- Use leading pedestrian intervals and targeted enforcement in the afternoon peak, when injuries spike. Source
- Keep 34th Street moving as promised; fewer cars mean fewer bodies in the crosswalk there. Source
The tools exist: a busway on 34th Street; a state bill to rein in the worst repeat drivers. The people hit on West 29th and Eighth are the reason to use them. Tell City Hall and Albany to move. Start here.
