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.
CloseYorkville’s kill zone: four deaths, hundreds hurt, and silence at the corners
Upper East Side-Yorkville: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Two men, a woman, and a cyclist are gone. Since 2022, this small part of Manhattan has logged 4 deaths and 463 injuries in crashes. The toll sits in the open data. No spin. Just names reduced to counts. NYC Open Data
- A 47‑year‑old man died at 2nd Ave and East 82nd in 2023. A box truck was going straight. The record says the pedestrian was at the intersection. NYC Open Data
- A 30‑year‑old woman was killed at York Ave and East 87th in 2024. Multiple vehicles appear in the report. She died at the corner. NYC Open Data
- A 28‑year‑old cyclist died on 2nd Ave in 2022. The record lists a bike going straight. He never made it home. NYC Open Data
- In 2025, a 55‑year‑old driver lost consciousness at East 83rd and York and died. Single vehicle. The street stayed the same. NYC Open Data
FDR Drive leads the injury list here. So does 2nd Avenue. East 96th and 1st Avenue trail behind. These are the repeat scenes. NYC Open Data
Where the bodies fall
Crash timing tells another story. Injuries spike at 3 p.m., 6 p.m., 6 a.m., noon, and into the night. Deaths hit at midnight, 5 a.m., 6 p.m., and 9 p.m. The clock keeps its own ledger. NYC Open Data
Pedestrians took the hardest blows: 2 deaths and 109 injuries. Cyclists: 1 death and 99 injuries. Car and truck occupants: 1 death and 236 injuries. Heavy boxes on wheels kill and maim, but so do sedans and SUVs. NYC Open Data
On causes, the city’s roll‑up is blunt: “other” leads the death count. Disregarded signals show up in one death. Distraction. Failure to yield. The words are dry until you stand in the crosswalk. NYC Open Data
Corners that don’t forgive
Name the hot zones. FDR Drive. 2nd Avenue. East 96th Street. 1st Avenue. City data flags them for repeated harm. Day after day. NYC Open Data
At 2nd Avenue and East 82nd, a truck going straight ended a man’s life. At York and East 87th, a woman died at the intersection. On 2nd Avenue in 2022, a cyclist died in a straight‑line crash. The geometry stays the same. The outcomes don’t. NYC Open Data
Simple fixes exist. Daylight the corners. Harden the turns. Give pedestrians a head start at the light. Protect the bike lane where riders actually fall. Target the repeat hours on the same blocks. The patterns are not a mystery. NYC Open Data
Citywide choices, local blood
Albany gave New York City the power to drop speeds on local streets. The city has not pulled the lever for a default 20. The law is there. The deaths continue. CrashCount: Take Action
The state also moved a bill to clamp the worst repeat speeders with speed‑limiting tech. In June, Senators Liz Krueger and José Serrano backed S 4045 in committee. The bill would force speed limiters on drivers who rack up violations. Open States
After two people were killed at Bowery and Canal by a car doing over 100 mph, the city said it would fortify the intersection and plan a broader redesign. “We are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” said the transportation commissioner. Advocates answered that most of Canal “will remain deadly.” The pattern is familiar. Act after the funerals. Gothamist
What you can do now
- Lower the speed: Demand a citywide 20 mph default. Use the power already granted. CrashCount: Take Action
- Stop repeat offenders: Tell your legislators to pass the speed‑limiter bill for habitual violators. Open States
One corner. One fix. One less family getting the call.

Krueger Supports Transparency in MTA Funding Debate▸Jan 6 - Lawmakers face a $33 billion MTA budget gap. The new Manhattan congestion toll hits drivers, but it is not enough. Senate leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins objects to the unfunded plan. More taxes and fees loom. Riders wait. Streets stay dangerous.
On January 6, 2025, the MTA’s $33 billion budget shortfall dominated debate. The matter, titled "MTA eyes new taxes, fees to plug $33B budget hole — even after NYC’s $9 congestion toll!", landed in the spotlight after the new toll failed to close the gap. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, district 35, formally objected to the unfunded capital plan with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. Their joint letter blocked the plan’s January 1 start, forcing negotiations. Governor Hochul, who backs the $68 billion plan, promised no income tax hikes but left other taxes and fees on the table. Senate Finance Chair Liz Krueger called for transparency. The MTA’s future—and the safety of those who rely on it—hangs in the balance. No direct safety analysis for vulnerable road users was provided.

Seawright co-sponsors bill to consider, not require, complete street design.▸Jan 8 - Assembly bill A 324 demands complete street design for state- and federally-funded projects. Sponsors push for public guidance. Streets built for people, not just cars. Safety for all hangs in the balance.
Assembly Bill A 324 was introduced on January 8, 2025, now in the sponsorship stage. The bill, titled 'Requires the consideration of complete street design for certain transportation projects which receive federal or state funding,' aims to force planners to consider all users—pedestrians, cyclists, drivers—when building or upgrading roads. Didi Barrett leads as primary sponsor, joined by Rebecca Seawright, Amy Paulin, and many others. The bill also directs the department to publish street design guidance. No safety analyst note yet, but the measure’s intent is clear: streets should protect the most vulnerable, not just move traffic.

SUV Left Turn Hits E-Bike, Injures Cyclist▸Jan 6 - A 19-year-old male cyclist was ejected and suffered head abrasions after an SUV made a left turn and struck his e-bike in Manhattan. The crash happened late at night. Driver inattention and distraction caused the collision.
According to the police report, the crash occurred at 11:45 PM near East 86th Street in Manhattan. A 19-year-old male bicyclist, wearing a helmet, was riding eastbound when he was struck by a 2025 Chevrolet SUV making a left turn. The point of impact was the SUV's left front bumper. The cyclist was ejected and sustained head abrasions, classified as injury severity level 3. The report cites 'Driver Inattention/Distraction' and 'Driver Inexperience' as contributing factors on the cyclist's part, but the primary cause was the SUV driver's failure to maintain attention while turning. The cyclist was conscious after the crash. Vehicle damage was limited to the SUV's left front bumper. This incident underscores the dangers posed by distracted drivers failing to yield to cyclists proceeding straight through intersections.

Krueger Supports Transparency in MTA Funding Debate▸Jan 6 - Lawmakers face a $33 billion MTA budget gap. The new Manhattan congestion toll hits drivers, but it is not enough. Senate leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins objects to the unfunded plan. More taxes and fees loom. Riders wait. Streets stay dangerous.
On January 6, 2025, the MTA’s $33 billion budget shortfall dominated debate. The matter, titled "MTA eyes new taxes, fees to plug $33B budget hole — even after NYC’s $9 congestion toll!", landed in the spotlight after the new toll failed to close the gap. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, district 35, formally objected to the unfunded capital plan with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. Their joint letter blocked the plan’s January 1 start, forcing negotiations. Governor Hochul, who backs the $68 billion plan, promised no income tax hikes but left other taxes and fees on the table. Senate Finance Chair Liz Krueger called for transparency. The MTA’s future—and the safety of those who rely on it—hangs in the balance. No direct safety analysis for vulnerable road users was provided.
