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.

Left turns, late nights, and lives upended in Highbridge Park
Highbridge Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just before 1 PM on Jul 9, 2025, a Jeep turned left at Amsterdam and W 178 St and struck two people who were crossing with the signal, sending them to the hospital (NYC Open Data).
Since Jan 1, 2022, this small patch around Highbridge Park has seen 393 crashes, injuring 235 people and leaving 5 with serious injuries. No deaths are recorded in this window (NYC Open Data).
Speed cameras work citywide. As one lawmaker put it, “speed cameras save lives and make our streets safer for everyone” (Streetsblog NYC). But here, the injuries keep coming.
Where it breaks again and again
Harlem River Drive is a wound. It accounts for 101 injuries in this area alone. Dyckman Street adds 26 more (NYC Open Data). The corners on Amsterdam keep drawing blood: the left turn at Amsterdam and W 178 St hit two people at once; three nights earlier at Amsterdam and W 171 St, a sedan making a U‑turn injured a child pedestrian (NYC Open Data).
The clock tells a story too. Injuries spike at 1 AM in this area, with 20 people hurt at that hour across the period. Dusk into night stays dangerous (NYC Open Data).
The causes we can name
The records cite failures we know how to fix: failure to yield, driver inattention, unsafe speed, and drivers blowing signals. Each shows up in the local crash files, including the Amsterdam cases above (NYC Open Data). On Feb 11, 2025, just before evening, a 77‑year‑old pedestrian was left unconscious after an SUV strike along Harlem River Drive (NYC Open Data). The list runs long. The fixes are not mysteries: daylight the corners, harden the turns, slow the cars.
Who holds the keys
City leaders boast of progress. “Traffic deaths reached the lowest level in recorded history during the first six months of this year,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez (BKReader). Albany renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030 (Streetsblog NYC). Those are steps. They are not the end.
The next step is on the books. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force the worst repeat offenders to use speed limiters after a pattern of violations. State Senator Robert Jackson co‑sponsored the Senate bill S4045 and voted yes in committee (Open States). Assembly Member Manny De Los Santos co‑sponsors the Assembly bill A2299 (NY Assembly). Council Member Carmen De La Rosa has backed daylighting legislation to clear sightlines at crosswalks.
Make these corners forgive
Amsterdam needs hardened turns and leading walk time. Dyckman needs slow speeds and clear sight lines. Harlem River Drive needs barriers and speed control. Night hours need targeted enforcement where the injuries cluster.
Citywide, two moves would help this map: a lower default speed limit on local streets and speed limiters for repeat offenders. Albany already renewed the cameras; the Legislature can pass the limiter bills now (Streetsblog NYC; Open States S4045; A2299).
The two people crossing at W 178 St did what the light told them to do. The street did not protect them. If you want that to change, add your voice /take_action/.

Rodriguez Backs Safety Boosting Hardened Daylighting Infrastructure Plan▸Jan 17 - Mayor Adams wants $4 million a year to block cars from crosswalks. Granite blocks, bike racks, and barriers will guard corners. Most pedestrian deaths happen at intersections. The city has ignored its own parking ban. Activists demand real change. The fight continues.
On January 17, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams proposed a budget boost to $3.85 million per year for 'hardened daylighting' at intersections. The plan, detailed by City Hall's Office of Management and Budget, aims to install granite blocks, bike racks, and other barriers at hundreds of corners. Adams said, 'We are ... keeping New Yorkers safe on our streets ... by improving road safety at hundreds of targeted traffic intersections.' State law bans parking within 20 feet of intersections, but New York City exempts itself, fueling deadly crashes—55 percent of pedestrian deaths and 79 percent of injuries happen at intersections. Council members and grassroots activists are pushing to end the city's carveout and require the Department of Transportation to add barriers to 1,000 intersections a year. Jackson Chabot of Open Plans said, 'Hardening is what makes daylighting actually work, so the budget item is really crucial to expanding it across the city.' The push follows the 2023 death of 7-year-old Dolma Naadhun at a poorly designed corner. The fight for safer streets is far from over.
