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.
CloseLate‑morning crash at Benson and Bay 26 shows what we live with
Bath Beach: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 21, 2025
Just before noon on Sep 21, 2025, at Benson Ave and Bay 26 Street, a driver in an SUV made a U‑turn and hit a person on a bike. Police logged the bicyclist injured and conscious. Source.
Bath Beach is not an outlier. Since 2022, this neighborhood has recorded 2 deaths and 524 injuries in crashes. Source.
The corners tell the story
On 86 Street, police records show the most injuries among local intersections. A 92‑year‑old woman crossing with the signal at 86 Street and Bay 11 Street was hit by a turning SUV; police cited driver inattention and distraction. Source.
At 15 Avenue and 85 Street, an 81‑year‑old woman was killed while crossing with the signal when the driver of a garbage truck turned left. Police recorded failure to yield and distraction by the driver. Source.
Injury counts in this area spike around the late afternoon and late evening, when streets are full and patience runs thin. Police data list frequent mentions of failure to yield, disregarding traffic signals, and aggressive driving. Source.
The trend did not slow this year
Year to date, crashes here rose to 206 from 188 a year ago. Injuries climbed to 133, up 49.4% from the same period last year. Deaths moved from 0 to 1. These are the city’s own numbers for this neighborhood. Source.
Speed still threads through the harm. On the Belt Parkway in August, a five‑vehicle pileup injured a driver; the crash was flagged as speed‑related. Source.
Officials know the levers
In the Council, District 47’s representative, Justin L. Brannan, is backing a bill to put stop signs or signals at all crosswalks. The text is blunt: “No later than January 1, 2027, the commissioner shall install a stop sign or a traffic control signal at all crosswalks.” Source.
Albany is weighing repeat dangerous driving. The Senate bill S 4045 would force drivers with 11 or more points in 24 months, or six speed or red‑light camera tickets in a year, to install speed limiters. State Senator Steve Chan voted yes in committee. Source.
On school‑zone protections, Assembly Member William Colton voted yes to extend them; Senator Chan voted no on that separate measure. The record is public. Source.
What would help here
- Daylight every corner on 86 Street and around Bay 11 Street so people are visible and turning drivers must slow. Harden the turns where lefts have killed.
- Use leading pedestrian intervals and automatic no‑turn‑on‑red at injury corners like 86 Street to give people in the crosswalk a head start.
- Target trucks on neighborhood routes; enforce yielding at left turns and keep heavy vehicles off the tightest residential blocks where possible.
And the citywide steps we can take now:
- Lower more local speed limits under existing authority and enforce them with cameras and design. The harm above shows where to start. Source.
- Pass the state speed‑limiter bill for repeat violators. We know who they are; the bill addresses them. Source.
This began with a bike hit at Benson and Bay 26. It ends the same way unless someone pulls the brake. Tell City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.

"A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks" -- Justin L. Brannan
Int. No. 1394 (File Int 1394-2025) was introduced by Council Member Justin L.

The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." The bill would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks by January 1, 2027. Safety analysts say the law "shifts responsibility onto drivers and reduces ambiguity at currently uncontrolled intersections, likely improving yielding and pedestrian/cyclist safety citywide," while warning that "over-signalization or poor timing could increase pedestrian delay and turning conflicts."

Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects.

Bill Int. 1353-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced 07/14/2025 and recorded 08/14/2025, the matter is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school."

Sep 25 - Int 1394 orders a stop sign or traffic signal at every crosswalk by Jan 1, 2027. It aims to slow drivers and force yielding. Pedestrians and cyclists stand to gain. Risks: non-compliance and delay if over‑installed or poorly signalized.
"No later than January 1, 2027, the commissioner shall install a stop sign or a traffic control signal at all crosswalks." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: Int 1394 (Int 1394-2025). Status: Council vote stage after referral to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter reads: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." Sponsored by Council Member Justin L. Brannan and brought to the City Council on Sept. 25, 2025. The measure would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than Jan. 1, 2027 and takes effect immediately. Safety analysts say it would broadly slow drivers and increase yielding, reducing crash risk for pedestrians and cyclists, but warn of non-compliance and added delay if over-installed or imprudently signalized; outcomes depend on design details and traffic-calming.

Brannan, Tiffany Cabán, Lincoln Restler and Shahana K. Hanif signed on. Requiring installation of traffic calming or control devices near schools within 60 days after a study determination is likely to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists by accelerating protective infrastructure, encouraging safer driving, and supporting ‘safety in numbers’ and equitable protection for children; however impact depends on timely, evidence-based device selection and adequate resourcing for implementation.

Brannan co-sponsors bill setting deadlines for school-adjacent traffic devices.▸Aug 14 - Int. 1353 forces DOT to install approved traffic calming or control devices on streets adjacent to schools within 60 days of a traffic study. Exempts major projects. Cuts delays that keep walkers and cyclists exposed to danger.
Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects. Primary sponsor: Farah N. Louis. Co-sponsors: Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Lincoln Restler, Tiffany Cabán. Safety analysts say the 60-day deadline shrinks harmful delays, likely improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, aiding crossings, encouraging walking and biking to school, and advancing equity — but benefits depend on enforcement and funding.
