- 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.

- 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.

Queens Village: The Deaths Keep Coming. The Fixes Don’t.
Queens Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A 29-year-old man crossed with the signal at 212th Street and Hillside Avenue before dawn. A box truck turned left and crushed him. Police coded driver distraction and an oversized vehicle. He died there. NYPD data lists it as CrashID 4789587.
- On the Cross Island Parkway near 112th Avenue, unsafe speed and a blown control ended a woman driver’s life. CrashID 4648067 marks it plain: “Unsafe Speed,” “Traffic Control Disregarded.”
- Southbound lanes. A 2018 Honda and a 2025 BMW hit. A 76-year-old woman in the right rear seat died. CrashID 4825309 carries her record.
“Police said the operator fled the scene after hitting the man.” The 52-year-old pedestrian near JFK never made it home. The driver ran. No arrests. That’s how the precinct logs it in the press. ABC7. Gothamist. Daily News.
Speed kills here. The dataset for this neighborhood shows “other” and speed-linked factors leading the harm, with pedestrians taking 139 injuries and one death since 2022. The clock tells on us too: injuries peak from late afternoon into the night, with heavy counts around 6 p.m., 8 p.m., and 9 p.m. NYC Open Data.
Three corners. One fix.
- The Cross Island Parkway is a knife edge. It leads the map: 3 deaths, 181 injuries. Top locations.
- 212th Street sees hurt stack up too, with serious injuries on the board. Location rollup.
The numbers point to simple work: slow cars before they turn, guard the crossings, and tame trucks at signals. Hardened turns. Daylighting. Leading pedestrian intervals. Truck turns that crawl, not cut. Night hours need light and enforcement where the injuries spike. The data also flags heavy vehicles in the harm to people on foot; a truck killed the man at Hillside and 212th. CrashID 4789587.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany gave the city the power to lower speeds. The city has the cameras around schools. Advocates and survivors have called on leaders to use that power and drop speeds to 20 mph. They have also pushed to rein in the worst drivers. Our prior coverage lays out the ask and the evidence. Take Action.
In Albany, the Stop Super Speeders Act moved. Senators backed a bill to force repeat violators to install speed limiters. Sen. Leroy Comrie voted yes in committee. So did Sen. Toby Ann Stavisky. S4045. The case for action is not abstract; it is written in broken bodies and camera records. Families and survivors have carried that message to the Capitol. Streetsblog.
Wrong-way terror shows another crack. A Queens driver took the expressway the wrong direction and hit five cars. A judge gave him eight years. “Joseph Lee terrorized other drivers,” the Queens DA said. Lee told police he felt “liberated.” amNY. Access control and speed control are not theory here. They are the difference between a near miss and a morgue.
The toll this year
- From Jan. 1 to Aug. 24, this neighborhood logged 405 crashes, 270 injuries, and two deaths. That is a 52% jump in crashes over last year to date. Neighborhood stats.
- Pedestrians were struck most often by sedans and SUVs. Trucks did fewer hits but took a life. Mode rollups.
What must move now
- Put LPIs and hardened turns at Hillside & 212th, and along the 212th Street spine. Clear the corners. Protect the walk.
- Target the Cross Island Parkway entrances and service roads for speed control and night enforcement. The injury curve after sunset demands it.
- Route and manage trucks at left-turn hotspots. The data names them.
Citywide, two steps can cut the blood loss fast: lower the default speed limit and force speed limiters on serial violators. The tools exist. The names on our list do too. Take Action.

Comrie votes yes to weaken bus rules, increasing pedestrian and cyclist risk.▸Jun 11 - Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.
Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.
