New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 4, 2025

Just before dusk on Oct 27, 108 St at 38 Ave. A 26‑year‑old on an e‑bike went down and never got up (NYC Open Data).

This Month

  • Oct 24, Park Ave at E 63 St: a driver making a left hit a 28‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 23, W 86 St at Columbus Ave: an 83‑year‑old man in a marked crosswalk was hit by a bus driver going straight (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 22, 130 St at 90 Ave: a driver going straight hit a 55‑year‑old man outside an intersection (NYC Open Data).

The count doesn’t stop

He was one of 1,166 people killed on New York City streets since 2022, with 205,690 injured in that span (NYC Open Data). This year, citywide deaths stand at 242, compared to 254 at this point last year (NYC Open Data). Fewer funerals than last year is not the same as safety.

A small group does outsized harm

A tiny slice of motorists drives a big share of the grief. Researchers found that 1.5% of drivers are tied to 21% of pedestrian deaths. Rack up 16 camera tickets in a year and the risk of killing or seriously injuring doubles; 30+ tickets multiplies the risk fifty‑fold (Streetsblog). In April, a driver with 29 prior camera tickets ran a red and killed a mother and her two daughters in Midwood (NY Daily News).

Power sits on the table

Albany passed Sammy’s Law. New York City now has the power to set safer speed limits on local streets. The city can choose 20 MPH for residential streets. It hasn’t done it citywide (CrashCount Take Action).

There’s also a bill built for the worst repeat offenders: the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C). It would force anyone with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year to use a speed‑limiting device, capped within 5 MPH of the limit (CrashCount Take Action).

What now

Lower speeds save lives. Curb the worst repeat offenders and the killings fall with them. City Hall and Albany have levers in hand. Pull them.

Take one step today. Tell your electeds to lower the default speed and pass speed limiters for habitual offenders. Start here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How were these numbers calculated?
We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets for crashes, injuries, and deaths from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-04, citywide. We counted people killed and injured from the Persons table, and total crashes from the Crashes table. Figures in this article match the same date window used in our analysis as of Nov 3, 2025. You can open the datasets and apply the same date filters starting here.
Why highlight repeat speeders?
A small group of motorists is linked to a large share of deaths. Research cited by Streetsblog shows 1.5% of drivers are tied to 21% of pedestrian deaths, and accumulating 16–30+ automated tickets sharply raises the risk of killing or seriously injuring someone. See the findings here.
What policies could prevent these crashes?
Two tools are on the table: using Sammy’s Law authority to set a 20 MPH default on residential streets, and passing the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to require speed limiters for repeat offenders. Details and contacts are listed on our action page at CrashCount.
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 I do right now?
Call City Hall and your state legislators to demand a citywide 20 MPH default and speed limiters for habitual speeders. We provide scripts and contacts here.

Adams Backs Misguided 15 MPH E‑Bike Speed Limit

Sep 24 - Mayor Adams sets a citywide 15 mph e-bike speed cap effective Oct. 24. The limit slows micromobility, shifts burdens to riders, invites uneven enforcement of delivery workers, widens speed gaps with cars, and risks worsening safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

"Mayor Eric Adams will announce later Wednesday that enforcement of the new 15 mph speed limit..." -- Eric Adams

No bill number. Status: announced Sep. 24, 2025; enforcement begins Oct. 24, 2025. Committee: N/A. The matter appeared as "NYC e-bike speed limit will take effect next month; how fast will riders be able to go?" Mayor Eric Adams announced and backs the citywide 15 mph cap. No council sponsors or votes are listed. Safety analysts warn: "While lower micromobility speeds may modestly reduce conflict severity in crowded spaces, a citywide 15 mph cap shifts burdens onto vulnerable users, invites inequitable enforcement of delivery workers, widens speed differentials with cars, and risks discouraging mode shift from driving—likely worsening system-wide safety for pedestrians and cyclists."

Adams Backs Ryder Law Horse Carriage Ban

Sep 23 - Mayor Eric Adams urged the City Council to pass Ryder's Law, a horse‑carriage ban. TWU president John Samuelsen said he was blindsided. Backing the ban would likely remove slow, bulky carriages and modestly reduce conflicts and lane blockages for people walking and biking.

Ryder's Law has no file number listed. On 2025-09-23 Mayor Eric Adams publicly called on the City Council to pass the measure. The City & State headline quoted the reaction: "TWU president slams Eric Adams as “backstabber” over support for horse carriage ban." TWU president John Samuelsen said the mayor blindsided him. No council sponsors or committee assignments are named in the report. Eric Adams is listed as backing the ban. Backing a horse-carriage ban would likely remove slow, bulky vehicles from crowded streets and park loops, reducing conflict points and lane blockages for people walking and biking; expected gains are modest but positive for vulnerable users.

Zohran Mamdani Backs Safety-Boosting E-Bike Algorithm Regulation

Sep 22 - Zohran Mamdani urges regulating delivery‑app algorithms, not riders. He says stripping perverse delivery‑time incentives will curb risky e‑bike riding, protect pedestrians and cyclists, and support e‑bikes without criminalizing delivery workers.

This is a policy position dated 2025-09-22. No bill number is listed and no committee is named. The piece quotes the matter title: "Zohran Mamdani On E-Bike Safety: Regulate App Algorithms, Not Workers." Zohran Mamdani is named and presented in support — he backs regulation of delivery-app algorithms rather than policing riders. The safety analyst notes that shifting regulation from workers to app algorithms can remove perverse delivery-time incentives that drive risky riding, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and that supporting e-bikes encourages mode shift and safety-in-numbers without criminalizing vulnerable workers.
