Corners that keep taking people

West Street leads the injury list with 101 injuries and 2 serious injuries. Church Street has seen 1 death and 32 injuries. West Houston Street has 28 injuries. Source

Police most often recorded driver inattention/distraction and failure to yield among named factors in these precinct crashes. One speed-related case stands out at Church and Warren, where police cited unsafe speed along with inattention. Source

The injury curve is heaviest from late morning into the evening. The noon hour alone accounts for 99 injuries since 2022. Source

What fixes here would stop the next one?

Start with the corners that hurt the most. Daylight the approaches on West Street and Church Street. Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened left turns to slow drivers making the moves that keep breaking people there. Target enforcement on those blocks during the midday and afternoon hours when injuries stack up. Source

Then scale what works. NYC has the tools to lower speeds and rein in repeat offenders. The city can set safer limits and back them with intelligent speed assistance for the worst drivers under the proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C). See how to press for both on our action page.

Local officials here are Council Member Erik D. Bottcher, Assembly Member Charles Fall, and State Senator Andrew Gounardes. The record in this report does not show whether they have sponsored the Stop Super Speeders Act. What will they do now? Source

Lower speeds at the deadly corners. Hold the line on enforcement where the injuries pile up. Push the citywide fixes that make those choices stick. Start here. Act today at /take_action/.
