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.

West Village: Bikes Down, Bodies Hurt, Hours Lost
West Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 17, 2025
Just before 6 AM on Aug 18, at Hudson St and Bank St, a 53-year-old man on a bike was injured. Police logged it as a crash with an unspecified vehicle. Source.
Since 2022, the West Village has seen 833 crashes, 4 people killed, and 319 injured. These are official counts drawn from city data. Source.
This Week
- Aug 22: On West St at W 12 St, two SUVs changing lanes collided; a 54-year-old rear passenger was hurt. Police cited driver distraction. Source.
- Aug 18: On W 14 St at Hudson St, a moped driver was injured; police recorded a driver disregarding traffic control and turning improperly. Source.
- Jul 27: On West St at Horatio St, a 19-year-old riding a bike was injured in a left‑turn conflict. Source.
Corners that don’t forgive
Crashes cluster on 7 Avenue and Hudson Street, with West 14 Street and Bleecker also on the board. These are the repeat sites in the record. Source.
Police reports cite drivers for failure to yield, inattention, and unsafe speed in this area. Those are the named factors we can see in the files. Source.
Injuries spike in the mid‑afternoon. Two o’clock shows the single biggest hour for harm here. Nights kill too. Source.
Pedestrians are most often hurt by drivers in sedans and SUVs, per police tallies. Heavy vehicles show up in the worst cases. Source.
Simple fixes. Long waits.
Daylight corners so people can see. Give leading walk time at signals. Harden left turns. Slow turns where West 4 Street meets Barrow. Do it at the repeat sites first.
A crosstown busway can clear space and calm 14th Street. City Hall already promised a car‑free 34th Street as part of Midtown rezoning. Council Members Keith Powers and Erik Bottcher pushed for it, with Bottcher saying, “We’re changing that now.” Source Source.
The laws that would stop the next hit
Albany renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. Assembly Member Deborah Glick sponsored the extension (A8787). Source.
The Senate’s speed‑limiter bill (S4045) moved in committee this June. State Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes. The measure would require intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators. Source.
On the Assembly side, Glick is listed as a co‑sponsor of the companion bill (A2299). That’s on the record. The Assembly can pass it. Source.
Lower speeds citywide are on the table too. NYC now has the power to drop the default limit and use 20 MPH on residential streets. That action is ready to pull. Source.
The man on the bike at Hudson and Bank did not get a vote. The next one won’t either. Act while they can still walk. Take action.

Hoylman-Sigal Supports Safety-Boosting Elimination of Parking Minimums▸Jan 31 - State lawmakers push to end mandatory parking in new buildings. The bill targets car dominance, aims to cut congestion, and free space for homes. Sen. Hoylman leads the charge. The move could shift city streets, making room for people, not just cars.
Senate Bill, introduced by Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan), would ban cities from forcing developers to build off-street parking in new projects. The bill, considered as of January 31, 2022, is under review by the state legislature. The measure, described as aiming to 'encourage public transit use, reduce car ownership, and address climate change,' would give New York City 180 days to update zoning if passed. Sen. Hoylman, the sponsor, calls parking minimums 'backwards' and a barrier to affordable housing. Sen. Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx) has shown support for similar efforts. The Department of City Planning and the governor's office will review the legislation if it advances. The bill does not ban parking outright, but removes the mandate, letting developers decide. Advocates say this could lower costs and open space for housing or community needs.

Kavanagh Supports Weigh In Motion Sensors on BQE▸Jan 31 - DOT says new sensors to catch overweight trucks on the BQE will not arrive until year’s end. Council Member Restler calls the daily truck hazard urgent. Lawmakers demand swift action. The city and state must coordinate. Vulnerable road users wait.
On January 31, 2022, DOT confirmed that weigh-in-motion (WIM) sensors for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) will take a year to install. The pilot program, enabled by a state bill signed December 22, aims to fine illegally overweight trucks. The bill was introduced by State lawmakers Brian Kavanagh and Jo Anne Simon. Council Member Lincoln Restler, representing District 33, pressed for rapid installation, warning, "There are extremely overweight trucks barreling down the triple cantilever every single day that are a hazard to the health and safety of our community." The matter title states: "Tonnage sensors on the BQE will take a year to set up: DOT." The project is complex, requiring city and state DOT coordination and a 90-day grace period once operational. Vulnerable road users remain exposed while the system is delayed.

Kavanagh Supports Safety Boosting BQE Truck Weight Sensors▸Jan 30 - DOT drags its feet. Overweight trucks pound the BQE. Council Member Restler calls it a daily hazard. Lawmakers push for weigh-in-motion sensors. The city says setup takes a year. Vulnerable road users wait while trucks threaten collapse.
On January 30, 2022, Council Member Lincoln Restler (District 33) pressed for urgent action on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) weigh-in-motion (WIM) pilot. The bill, sponsored in the state legislature by Brian Kavanagh and Jo Anne Simon, was signed into law on December 22. The measure, described as a 'critical project' by DOT, aims to catch and fine overweight trucks using new sensors. Restler said, 'There are extremely overweight trucks barreling down the triple cantilever every single day that are a hazard to the health and safety of our community.' DOT claims the system will be operational by year’s end, citing technical complexity. The Brooklyn Heights Association and local officials demand faster action. The pilot is the first of its kind in the nation. Until sensors are live, the BQE remains a danger zone for everyone not behind the wheel.

According to the police report, two sedans collided on Washington Street. The crash struck the right front bumper of one car and the right side doors of the other.
