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.

Mariner’s Harbor-Arlington-Graniteville: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 5, 2025
Just after afternoon traffic began to swell on Aug 29, at Richmond Ave and Vedder Ave, an unlicensed BMW driver going straight hit a parked Chevy. The BMW driver was injured (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Aug 30: Forest Ave at Union Ave — a child passenger was hurt as two cars turned into each other (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 29: South Ave at Richmond Ter — two sedans collided; a driver was injured (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 13: Forest Ave at Union Ave — a driver turning left struck a bicyclist going straight; the cyclist was injured (NYC Open Data).
The count does not slow. Since Jan 1, 2022, this area has seen 1,026 crashes, with 3 people killed and 515 injured (NYC Open Data). This year through Sep 5: 211 crashes, 110 injuries, compared to 190 crashes, 106 injuries at this point last year; two people were killed by this time last year, none so far this year (CrashCount analysis of city data).
Routines break at the curb. A 73‑year‑old man was killed by a turning van at Forest Ave and South Ave on Nov 21, 2022 (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4583662). Forest Ave shows up again and again in the records. So does Richmond Ter.
Forest Ave, Union Ave, South Ave. The records say left turns, inattention, and bad merges. At 5 PM, injuries peak in this dataset, the worst hour on the clock here (CrashCount analysis of city data). Trucks and vans are in the log too, including the case above where a van killed a pedestrian (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4583662).
“That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane,” Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella said of confusing bus‑lane rules on Hylan Blvd — different corridor, same borough — after tallying crashes tied to bad signs (amNY). Signs matter. So do turns.
Where the street fails
- Forest Ave at Union Ave needs slower turns and clearer priority. Daylighting and hardened corners can keep turning drivers off people in the crosswalk. A leading pedestrian interval would give walkers a head start (CrashCount analysis of city data).
- South Ave at Richmond Ter is a freight route. Tighten radii at turns and add truck‑safe signal timing to cut conflicts (CrashCount analysis of city data).
Speed is the wound that never closes
Citywide tools exist. The Senate’s S 4045 would force repeat speeders to use speed‑limiting tech. State Sen. Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton voted yes in committee on June 12, 2025 (Open States). Assembly Member Sam Pirozzolo voted no on a separate school speed‑zone bill; State Sen. Scarcella‑Spanton also voted no on that measure (timeline records). Council Member Kamillah Hanks co‑sponsors Int 1339-2025 to let ambulettes use and block bus lanes — a change that pushes people into traffic (timeline records).
A safer default speed is on the table. New Yorkers can press the city to lower the limit on local streets, and to back the repeat‑speeder bill that would keep the worst offenders from roaring through crosswalks. The next move is public.
Act
- Tell City Hall and Albany to slow cars and stop repeat speeders. Start here.

Charles Fall Backs Safety-Boosting Center-Running Bus Lanes▸Sep 5 - City will install center-running bus lanes on Flatbush Avenue from Livingston St. to Grand Army Plaza this fall.

Charles Fall Backs Safety-Boosting Center-Running Bus Lanes▸Sep 5 - City will install center-running bus lanes on Flatbush Avenue from Livingston St. to Grand Army Plaza this fall. Lanes move buses to the center, calm traffic, add median refuges, and tighten crossings — improving safety for pedestrians and transit riders.
Bill number: none. Status: DOT announcement; installation slated for fall 2025. Committee: none recorded. The matter is titled: "City to install center-running bus lane on Flatbush Avenue this fall." Brooklyn Paper reported the Sept. 5, 2025 announcement. No council sponsors are listed. Assembly member Charles Fall backed the safety-boosting plan. Adam Daly issued the release. DOT plans center-running lanes from Livingston Street to Grand Army Plaza. Safety analysts say center-running bus lanes can calm traffic, reduce turning and curb conflicts, encourage transit mode shift, and add median refuges that improve crossings. Cyclist gains are smaller without protected bike lanes, but overall safety for pedestrians and transit riders should improve.
