Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queensboro Hill?

Preventable Speeding in Queensboro Hill School Zones

(since 2022)

Right turn at Kissena and Rose puts two in the hospital. The pattern is not new.

Queensboro Hill: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 29, 2025

Just before 4 PM on Nov 24, at Kissena Boulevard and Rose Avenue, a driver in an SUV turned right and hit a 63‑year‑old woman and a 68‑year‑old man who were crossing with the signal. Police recorded the driver’s “failure to keep right” and impact to the left front bumper; both pedestrians suffered crush injuries (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Nov 21, a driver in a sedan turned left at Elder Avenue and Colden Street and injured an 83‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
  • Nov 9, at Colden and Elder, a northbound SUV driver going straight hit a 62‑year‑old woman in the crosswalk (NYC Open Data).

Corners that keep breaking people

Since Jan 1, 2022, this neighborhood has logged 1,011 crashes, with 614 people injured and 3 killed (NYC Open Data). Pedestrians alone account for 105 injuries and 1 death in 99 pedestrian crashes here (NYC Open Data).

The worst spots keep showing up. Long Island Expressway connections lead the harm with 2 deaths and 206 injuries. Main Street follows with dozens more, alongside repeat injuries on Kissena Boulevard (NYC Open Data).

The clock tells on us

Afternoons cut deep here. The 2 PM hour shows the highest injury count in the dataset. Deaths cluster at 1 AM and 8 PM (NYC Open Data). Police also keep writing the same causes on reports: failure to yield shows up alongside recorded unsafe speed in a fatal crash at Reeves Avenue and Main Street on Feb 15, 2024, where a driver going straight killed a 68‑year‑old woman walking outside an intersection (NYC Open Data).

The fixes start at the turn and the lane

Start with the corners we know by name: Main Street, Kissena Boulevard, and the LIE ramps. Put in daylighting, hardened turns, leading pedestrian intervals, and no‑turn‑on‑red. Protect crossings where drivers turn across people walking.

Then back it up on speed. Lower limits give everyone time. New York City now has the power to set safer limits under Sammy’s Law; the city can use it to make 20 MPH the rule on local streets (Take Action).

Repeat offenders drive a lot of the pain. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force habitual violators to use intelligent speed assistance to keep within the limit (Open States S 4045; Take Action).

Who’s moving, and who isn’t

Your State Senator, John Liu, co‑sponsored and voted “yes” on the speed‑limiter bill in committee this year (Open States S 4045). Your Assembly Member, Nily Rozic, co‑sponsored the Assembly version (Open States A 2299). Your Council Member, Sandra Ung, co‑sponsored a bill to put a crossing guard at every K–8 school (NYC Council Int 1439‑2025).

The corners at Kissena and Rose, Colden and Elder, and the LIE ramps do not wait. Neither should the laws. Slow the turns. Lower the speeds. Stop the repeat offenders. Then fewer names land in these reports.

Take one step now. Tell City Hall and Albany to act on slower limits and speed‑limiters: Take Action.
