Belt Parkway at dawn. One man. Two drivers.
New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just before 6 AM on Sep 12, a man crossed the Belt Parkway near 146th Street. Two drivers hit him. He died there, in the dark. NYPD described the scene and the crossing point.
He was one of 1,127 people killed on New York City streets since Jan 1, 2022, by the city’s own crash database (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- On Mosholu Parkway, a driver in a 2024 Toyota sedan going straight hit and killed a 30-year-old man; police recorded driver inattention/distraction (NYC Open Data).
- At 30th Street and 39th Avenue, the driver of an SUV turned right and hit a 38-year-old woman in a marked crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield (NYC Open Data).
- At York Avenue and E 72nd Street, a taxi driver going straight hit and killed a man; police recorded failure to yield (NYC Open Data).
The count does not stop
Year to date, 203 people have been killed in traffic across the city, compared with 215 in the same period last year, a 5.6% drop. The injuries keep coming by the tens of thousands (NYC Open Data).
Most people walking are hit by drivers of cars and SUVs. Police records show pedestrians killed or hurt again and again by those drivers across this period (NYC Open Data).
The worst drivers do outsized harm
A small group of drivers cause a large share of deaths. Vehicles that rack up camera tickets are far more likely to kill or maim. Researchers found that 1.5% of motorists are tied to 21% of pedestrian deaths, and that vehicles with 16 camera tickets in a year are twice as likely to kill or seriously injure; 30+ tickets multiplies the risk fifty‑fold (Streetsblog).
The city has tools. Albany renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, and New York City now has authority to lower its own limits. On our streets, lower speed means fewer funerals. The city can set a default 20 MPH on residential streets and use it (CrashCount: Take Action).
Use the power we have
The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force habitual speeders to install intelligent speed assistance that won’t let them blow past the limit. Our lawmakers can pass it. Our city can lower speeds now. As one official said about another strand of roadway danger, “police vehicle pursuits and high-speed car chases can be dangerous and even fatal, and it is time for a change” (Times Union).
One man, before sunrise on the Belt. Three more in the days around it. Slower streets and checks on the worst repeat speeders would spare the next family. Start here: push the city to act.

Adams Backs Misguided 15‑mph E‑bike Speed Limit▸Jul 3 - A former DOT leader blasts the mayor’s 15 mph e-bike cap. He warns it will slow riders, expose them to cars, and erase safety gains. Cyclists face new risks. Streets grow more hostile.
On July 3, 2025, Michael Replogle, ex-DOT policy director, publicly opposed the proposed 15 mph e-bike speed limit. The policy, up for hearing July 14, faces broad criticism. Replogle wrote, 'It is an ill-considered idea to improve safety which will be counterproductive.' He argues the cap forces cyclists to ride slower than car traffic, putting them in harm’s way. Kevin Duggan reported the statement for Streetsblog NYC. The safety analyst notes: undoing cycling gains reduces support, shrinks mode share, and weakens safety in numbers. The result: streets less safe for vulnerable users. No council bill number or committee action is attached.

Adams Backs Misguided 15‑mph E‑bike Speed Limit▸Jul 3 - A former DOT leader blasts the mayor’s 15 mph e-bike cap. He warns it will slow riders, expose them to cars, and erase safety gains. Cyclists face new risks. Streets grow more hostile.
On July 3, 2025, Michael Replogle, ex-DOT policy director, publicly opposed the proposed 15 mph e-bike speed limit. The policy, up for hearing July 14, faces broad criticism.

Kevin Duggan reported the statement for Streetsblog NYC. The safety analyst notes: undoing cycling gains reduces support, shrinks mode share, and weakens safety in numbers. The result: streets less safe for vulnerable users. No council bill number or committee action is attached.

The matter, described as a 'highly-anticipated 34th Street busway,' had support from Council Members Erik Bottcher, Keith Powers, and others.

Jul 3 - A former DOT leader blasts the mayor’s 15 mph e-bike cap. He warns it will slow riders, expose them to cars, and erase safety gains. Cyclists face new risks. Streets grow more hostile.
On July 3, 2025, Michael Replogle, ex-DOT policy director, publicly opposed the proposed 15 mph e-bike speed limit. The policy, up for hearing July 14, faces broad criticism. Replogle wrote, 'It is an ill-considered idea to improve safety which will be counterproductive.' He argues the cap forces cyclists to ride slower than car traffic, putting them in harm’s way. Kevin Duggan reported the statement for Streetsblog NYC. The safety analyst notes: undoing cycling gains reduces support, shrinks mode share, and weakens safety in numbers. The result: streets less safe for vulnerable users. No council bill number or committee action is attached.
