The tools exist. Use them.

New York now has the power to lower speeds under Sammy’s Law. Slower streets save lives. And Albany can rein in the worst repeat speeders with mandatory limiters. The steps are laid out here. /take_action/.

This is how we stop the next door, the next turn, the next strike. Lower the default speed. Install speed limiters on the cars that won’t stop speeding. Start now. /take_action/.

Frequently Asked Questions

How were these numbers calculated?
We used NYC’s official Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes: h9gi-nx95; Persons: f55k-p6yu). We filtered for New York City, from 2022‑01‑01 to 2025‑11‑03. Deaths are people with injury severity = 5 in the Persons table; injuries include minor, moderate, and serious injuries. Counts like “1,166 deaths since 2022” and the 12‑month and year‑to‑date figures were calculated from these filters as of Nov 2, 2025. You can see example filtered queries: deaths since 2022 here, and all crashes in the same window here.
Why name times and corners?
Because people were killed at those corners. The details come from the city crash database and verified press reports linked in this story.
What is CrashCount?
We’re a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you’re walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what’s happening in your neighborhood.
What can slow the death count now?
Lower the city’s default speed limit and fit repeat speeders with intelligent speed assistance. New York has clear levers to do both. See steps and contacts /here.
