- 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.
CloseTwo bikes collide on Columbus. The toll keeps climbing.
Upper West Side-Manhattan Valley: Jan 1, 2022 - Dec 4, 2025
Just after 5 PM on Oct 26, two people on e‑bikes hit each other on Columbus Ave. Both were injured, police records show (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Oct 24: at Amsterdam Ave near 97th, police recorded a taxi driver’s inattention; a 90‑year‑old woman on foot was injured while getting on or off a vehicle (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 24: West End Ave at W 106 St, an e‑bike rider and a motorcyclist collided; the rider was ejected and injured (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 19: on Amsterdam Ave, a 28‑year‑old on a bike was hurt in a crash involving a parked Jeep (NYC Open Data).
The count doesn’t stop
Since 2022, this neighborhood has recorded 3 deaths and 353 injuries in 772 crashes, with 8 serious injuries tallied by police (NYC Open Data). People on bikes appear again and again: police list 92 cyclist injuries here over the period (NYC Open Data).
The harm clusters in daylight and into the evening. Noon saw 24 people hurt. At 1 PM, 24. At 3 PM, 30. The bruises and the broken bones pile up as the day wears on (NYC Open Data).
Corners that take and take
Police tie the worst injuries to familiar places. The Henry Hudson Parkway tops the list, with deaths and severe crashes. West 110 Street, Manhattan Avenue, Broadway, and Amsterdam Avenue each carry a heavy load of injuries (NYC Open Data).
Police reports name what keeps happening: driver inattention and distraction in at least 12 injury cases here; failure to yield in 8; unsafe speed appears too (NYC Open Data). These are choices with bodies behind them.
Use the tools we have
After a double fatal crash downtown, the message from City Hall’s steps was plain: “We urge the DOT not to wait for more crashes and deaths … to act” (Streetsblog NYC). The plea fits here.
Albany moved on the worst repeat speeders. The Senate’s Stop Super Speeders bill would force drivers with a pattern of violations to install speed‑limiting tech. State Sen. Cordell Cleare co‑sponsored it and voted yes in June 2025 (Open States). In the Assembly, Micah Lasher co‑sponsored the companion bill, A2299 (CrashCount timeline). The law aims at the small group that does outsized harm.
The city already has the power to slow streets. Lower limits and designs that force slower turns. Hardened corners. Daylighting at crosswalks. Protected bike lanes where the injuries keep coming—on Amsterdam, Broadway, West 110. These are standard fixes. They save lives when deployed. The only question is whether they show up here, now.
The two riders on Columbus went to the ground. Others will follow them unless someone draws a line. Act while they’re still numbers, not names.
Take one step today. Tell leaders to use the tools we have and pass the ones we need: Take Action.

Shaun Abreu Backs Menin On Livable Streets Collaboration▸Dec 10 - Julie Menin says she'll work with Mayor Mamdani on livable streets. She backs some safety measures but also supports e-bike regulation. A leadership change alone does not alter street design or enforcement. Pedestrians and cyclists wait for concrete policy.
No bill number applies to this leadership event. Status: Menin declared herself likely City Council Speaker on 2025-12-10; the full Council vote is set for Jan. 7, 2026. Committee: she will appoint the chair for the Council Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The story ran under the headline "Likely Council Speaker Julie Menin Claims She'll Work With Mamdani On Livable Streets." Menin told Streetsblog she will "work with Mamdani" and cited past moves to "improve how New Yorkers move." She remains a co-sponsor of Intro 606 to license and register e-bikes and meets with the E-Vehicle Safety Alliance. Shaun Abreu publicly backed her. A leadership change by itself does not alter street design or enforcement; impacts on pedestrians and cyclists depend on future policy choices.

Hoylman-Sigal Backs Safety‑Boosting 34th Street Busway Plan▸Aug 8 - Mayor approved a car-free busway on 34th Street after walkers beat the crosstown bus in a 1.2‑mile race.

Bill number: none listed. Status: approval announced; stage: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: not listed. Key date: 2025-08-08, the day the crosstown race and public approval were reported. The matter is the "construction of a car-free busway on 34th Street between Third and Ninth avenues." Mayor Adams abandoned opposition and approved construction.

Hoylman-Sigal Backs Safety‑Boosting 34th Street Busway Plan▸Aug 8 - Mayor approved a car-free busway on 34th Street after walkers beat the crosstown bus in a 1.2‑mile race. The move targets faster, more reliable service for nearly 30,000 daily riders and to clear jams caused by congestion and illegal parking.
Bill number: none listed. Status: approval announced; stage: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: not listed. Key date: 2025-08-08, the day the crosstown race and public approval were reported. The matter is the "construction of a car-free busway on 34th Street between Third and Ninth avenues." Mayor Adams abandoned opposition and approved construction. Council member Zohran Mamdani celebrated, calling the buses "the slowest buses in the United States of America." Comptroller Brad Lander, Council Members Keith Powers and Erik Bottcher, and state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal backed the plan. Advocates say the busway will speed service for almost 30,000 daily riders.

Hoylman-Sigal Backs Safety‑Boosting 34th Street Busway Plan▸Aug 8 - Mayor approved a car-free busway on 34th Street after walkers beat the crosstown bus in a 1.2‑mile race. The move targets faster, more reliable service for nearly 30,000 daily riders and to clear jams caused by congestion and illegal parking.
Bill number: none listed. Status: approval announced; stage: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: not listed. Key date: 2025-08-08, the day the crosstown race and public approval were reported. The matter is the "construction of a car-free busway on 34th Street between Third and Ninth avenues." Mayor Adams abandoned opposition and approved construction. Council member Zohran Mamdani celebrated, calling the buses "the slowest buses in the United States of America." Comptroller Brad Lander, Council Members Keith Powers and Erik Bottcher, and state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal backed the plan. Advocates say the busway will speed service for almost 30,000 daily riders. No formal safety impact analysis was provided.
