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.

Four dead in a week. The pattern doesn’t quit.
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.

Adams Backs Safety‑Boosting Ban on Horse‑Drawn Carriages▸Sep 17 - Mayor Adams endorsed a ban on horse-drawn carriages and signed an order to wind down the industry. Removing carriages cuts sudden lane blockages and spooking that create conflicts for pedestrians and cyclists, especially around Central Park.
"Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday endorsed legislation to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City." -- Eric Adams
Bill number: none listed. Status: endorsed by Mayor Eric Adams; executive order signed directing agencies to prepare for the industry’s end. Committee: no City Council committee or sponsors recorded. Key date: Sept. 17, 2025, when the mayor announced the move. Matter title quoted: "Mayor Adams calls for end to NYC horse-drawn carriage industry." Council action: no City Council sponsors or votes appear on record; coverage framed the Council response as political. Safety impact: removing horse-drawn carriages reduces unpredictable lane blockages and spooking incidents that create conflicts for people walking and biking, especially around Central Park; if replacements are low-speed and well-managed, the net effect should improve pedestrian and cyclist safety.

Sep 17 - Mayor Adams endorsed a ban on horse-drawn carriages and signed an order to wind down the industry. Removing carriages cuts sudden lane blockages and spooking that create conflicts for pedestrians and cyclists, especially around Central Park.
"Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday endorsed legislation to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City." -- Eric Adams
Bill number: none listed. Status: endorsed by Mayor Eric Adams; executive order signed directing agencies to prepare for the industry’s end. Committee: no City Council committee or sponsors recorded. Key date: Sept. 17, 2025, when the mayor announced the move. Matter title quoted: "Mayor Adams calls for end to NYC horse-drawn carriage industry." Council action: no City Council sponsors or votes appear on record; coverage framed the Council response as political. Safety impact: removing horse-drawn carriages reduces unpredictable lane blockages and spooking incidents that create conflicts for people walking and biking, especially around Central Park; if replacements are low-speed and well-managed, the net effect should improve pedestrian and cyclist safety.
