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.
CloseTwo riders dead on the parkway. The pattern didn’t start there.
Allerton: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Two men died before dawn on the Bronx River Parkway. Police say a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass, clipped a Volkswagen, then hit two motorcycles. Both riders were thrown and later pronounced dead. The driver was charged with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, and, according to a complaint, had a strong odor of alcohol and stood unsteadily at the scene. The highway shut near Gun Hill. Families grieved. One sister asked the court, “He’s just walking freely? Two people were killed.” Gothamist | CBS New York | NY Daily News
“Two people were killed. He was drunk.” NY Daily News
“My client is prepared to contest these charges and he looks forward to in court.” NY Daily News
South of the exits, Allerton carries the spill. People on foot, on bikes, on small motors. The bodies are local.
Where the street breaks you
The worst injuries cluster on Bronxwood Avenue, Burke Avenue, Adee Avenue, and Allerton Avenue. Each shows serious harm. Each has people hit and sent to the hospital. NYC Open Data
On White Plains Road at 2823, a moped struck two pedestrians. A 45‑year‑old woman had severe bleeding and was semiconscious. A 46‑year‑old man took a blow to the face. “Failure to Yield Right‑of‑Way,” the record says. NYC Open Data
At Williamsbridge and Allerton, a 13‑year‑old girl crossing with the signal suffered crush injuries. The form lists her as semiconscious. NYC Open Data
The hours tell on us. Injuries spike through the afternoon and early evening, then again at 9, 10, and 11 a.m., with a grim pulse at 4 to 6 p.m. One death struck at 9 p.m. NYC Open Data
What keeps showing up
“Other” driver behavior leads the harm here, with inattention and failure to yield close behind. Pedestrians and cyclists take the blows: 54 injured on foot, 30 on bikes in this small area since 2022. Heavy vehicles add to the damage, with trucks involved in multiple serious pedestrian cases. NYC Open Data
The count does not stay still. Year to date, crashes in Allerton are up about 29% from last year’s pace, even as deaths tick to zero. Injuries rose too. One number falls. Another rises. The street remains the same. NYC Open Data
Parkway blood, neighborhood fear
Police say the parkway case began with a pass attempt and ended with two young men dead. Officials named the riders, ages 19 and 21. The driver refused a chemical test, according to prosecutors. Southbound lanes closed near Exit 9. Morning traffic waited behind flares. A family asked, “How could they let him go?” Gothamist | NY Daily News | Gothamist
Fix the corners, slow the steel
What would help here is simple and near: daylighting at Bronxwood, Burke, Adee, and Allerton. Hardened turns and leading pedestrian intervals to stop the quick cut. Raised crossings where people actually cross. Truck routing and targeted enforcement on the worst blocks. These are standard tools. They save lives when used. NYC Open Data
The city has bigger tools too. Albany renewed 24‑hour school‑zone cameras. And there is a bill to force repeat speeders to install devices that won’t let them push past the limit. Senators including Gustavo Rivera voted yes in committee. The measure targets people with patterns: high DMV points or repeated camera tickets. Streetsblog NYC | Open States
City leaders also hold the power to drop default speeds on local streets. Slower traffic leaves more survivors. Fewer families waiting in ER hallways. The mandate is clear. Use it. Take Action
