People walking account for 3 deaths and 807 injuries in this span. People on bikes were hurt 197 times. NYC Open Data

Injuries rise in the late afternoon. The 5 PM hour saw 253 injuries, the single highest hour on the clock. NYC Open Data
The same corners keep bleeding
Hillside Avenue. Jamaica Avenue. Sutphin Boulevard. These corridors show up again and again in the crash logs, with Hillside and Jamaica each logging deaths during the period. NYC Open Data
At Hillside Avenue and 171 Street, a driver going straight killed a 56‑year‑old man on May 31, 2024. Police recorded a head injury and death at the scene. NYC Open Data
At Jamaica Avenue, police recorded another pedestrian death in 2023, tied to a westbound sedan going straight. NYC Open Data
What will actually fix this
The pattern here is concrete: left turns into people crossing; busy afternoons; repeat corridors. Simple fixes match the facts:
- Hardened left turns and leading pedestrian intervals on Hillside Avenue and Jamaica Avenue to slow turning drivers and give walkers a head start. NYC Open Data
- Daylighting at corners like Hillside Avenue and Parsons Boulevard so drivers can see people in the crosswalk. NYC Open Data
- Rush‑hour failure‑to‑yield enforcement at known hot spots, focused on 2–6 PM when injuries crest. NYC Open Data
Citywide tools we need now
Two steps can cut speed—the one factor that decides who lives when a driver makes a mistake:
- Lower the default city speed limit to 20 MPH using the authority described in our Take Action brief.
- Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act to require speed limiters for vehicles with extreme ticket histories, as outlined here.
Council Member James F. Gennaro, Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman, and State Senator James Sanders represent this area. The question is simple: will they back and push these measures? Details
The girl in the Hillside crosswalk had the light. The turn still came. The fixes are known. Act now. /take_action/
