Flatbush keeps the count
Since 2022, in Flatbush, five people walking were killed and 358 were injured. Cyclists were hurt 196 times. In all, there were 2,096 crashes that injured 1,485 people and left 21 with serious injuries. Source.
Flatbush Avenue is the core of the harm: 207 injuries and one death. Bedford Avenue logged 92 injuries and one death. Source.
Evenings burn hottest. At 5 PM there were 106 injuries and one death. At 6 PM there were 90 injuries and three deaths. Source.
Heavy vehicles, heavy grief
Trucks and buses are tied to three of the five deaths here. Cars and SUVs account for the rest. Source.
Police reports point to driver actions we can name. Failure to yield shows up in recent pedestrian hits on Flatbush at Avenue H. Left turns keep cutting across people’s paths. Source.
The worst drivers don’t stop
School‑zone cameras caught a mountain of repeat speeding in this area. Since 2022, there were 7,419 tickets that would be “preventable” after a driver crossed six tickets in a year, including 1,612 in the year to date. At the higher threshold, 3,612 were preventable after 16 tickets, including 840 this year. These are the tickets a limiter would have stopped. Source.
The state has a bill for that. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force drivers with a record of violations to use intelligent speed assistance. State Sen. Kevin Parker voted yes in committee in June 2025. Source.
The companion bill sits with the Assembly. Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn: will you co‑sponsor and push it? Council Member Rita C. Joseph: will you press for citywide slower speeds now?
As New York’s attorney general said about high‑risk driving by police, “the evidence is clear: police vehicle pursuits and high‑speed car chases can be dangerous and even fatal, and it is time for a change.” Source.
Fix the streets that keep breaking us
Start where the blood is. Flatbush Avenue. Bedford Avenue. Hardened left turns, no‑parking near crosswalks, longer walk signals, protected space at corners. Target the evening hours when deaths spike. Source.
Then tackle the source. Lower the default speed citywide and force repeat speeders to slow down. Both steps are on the table: the city can lower speeds, and the Legislature can pass the Stop Super Speeders Act. Details and how to help.
The woman on Flatbush went down in the dark. The rest of us live with the light. It shows the same corners, the same turns, the same hours. It shows what must change.

Its title: “A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to pedestrian crossing guidelines and right of way.” Sponsored by Council Member Tiffany Cabán and co-sponsored by Narcisse, Won, Hanif, Hudson, and Restler, the law lets pedestrians cross streets anywhere, even against signals. No more tickets for crossing outside crosswalks. The Department of Transportation must educate all street users on new rights and responsibilities. The law removes a tool police used to target walkers. It shifts blame from people on foot to the system and those behind the wheel.
