Queens Boulevard and the BQE carry the worst of it
Two corridors keep coming up in the crash logs. Queens Boulevard shows 3 deaths and 163 injuries. The Brooklyn‑Queens Expressway shows 2 deaths and 377 injuries. The Long Island Expressway adds another death and 351 injuries.

Who bears the blows
People on foot and on bikes take a beating here. Since 2022, drivers have killed 4 pedestrians and 1 cyclist; 346 pedestrians and 314 cyclists were hurt. SUVs and cars account for the largest share of pedestrian harm, with at least 4 pedestrian deaths and 286 injuries traced to them. Trucks and buses add to the toll. Source: NYC Open Data rollup.

Nights are long. The log is longer.
Injuries pile up after dark. From midnight through 3 a.m., there are 328 injuries and 5 serious injuries. At 4 a.m., two people died; at 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., two more. Late day is not safe. 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. shows 315 injuries and 2 deaths. After 10 p.m., two more deaths. Source: hourly distribution.
Wrong‑way fear lives on highways. On the Clearview Expressway in 2023, a man drove against traffic and crashed into five cars. A Queens jury convicted him. Queens DA Melinda Katz said, “Joseph Lee terrorized other drivers.” Two motorists “were badly hurt and still have not fully recovered.” He told police he did it “because I wanted to hurt people and I felt ‘liberated’ by what I had done,” and taunted a victim, “You want to fight?” Source: amNY.
What the numbers say about cause
Most crashes here are chalked up to “other,” a catch‑all that hides the knife. That category links to 5 deaths and 579 injuries. “Disregarded traffic control” shows 1 death and 18 injuries. “Vulnerable road user error” is cited in 2 deaths and 45 injuries. The codes do not heal the bones. Source: contributing factors.
Fix the corners that kill
Targets are clear. Harden right turns for box trucks on Greenpoint Avenue. Daylight the mouths along Queens Boulevard. Put leading walk signals at 46th Street and 47th Avenue. Treat the BQE frontage like the danger it is: slow entries, better channelization, and barriers that keep speeds down. Focus night enforcement where the deaths cluster.
Then go bigger. The city has the tools. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can set slower limits. A 20 mph default on local streets would cut the force that breaks bodies. And the state has a bill to stop the worst repeat offenders. Drivers with long records of tickets kill more often. Speed limiters would cap the harm.
These are not theories. They are the next cuts to a toll we already count. See how to push them here: take action.
