The count is steady, and it is cruel
Since Jan 1, 2022, in Precinct 122, 15 people have been killed and 2,550 injured in traffic crashes. Pedestrians account for 6 of the dead and 387 of the injured. NYC Open Data.
This year’s injuries are running higher than last year’s pace: through the current period, injuries are 589 versus 451 a year ago, a 30.6% jump; recorded deaths rose from 1 to 2. NYC Open Data.
Crashes pile up on familiar corridors. Hylan Boulevard and Richmond Road top the list, with Hylan showing multiple deaths and hundreds injured, and Richmond logging more than 160 injuries. NYC Open Data.
Fatal wrecks cluster in the dark. Police data show three deaths at 11 PM, with other spikes around the evening commute. NYC Open Data.
The same turns. The same mistakes.
Police records in recent crashes here cite left turns and failures to yield. On Sep 2, a left‑turning driver hit a man in a marked crosswalk; officers logged “failure to yield.” On Sep 16, another left turn at Richmond and Narrows ended with a man on the pavement. Crash records.
Hylan Boulevard adds confusion. A recent report tallied crashes tied to murky bus‑lane rules and inconsistent signs. “That’s one accident every four days,” said Borough President Vito Fossella, urging clarity on when drivers can enter the curb lane. amNY.
Where Precinct 122 can act — and where City Hall must
This is a map with red corners: Hylan Boulevard. Richmond Road. Father Capodanno Boulevard. Daylighting crosswalks, giving pedestrians a head start, and hardening turns at these spots would cut the left‑hook hits that keep showing up in the logs. Targeted enforcement at these corners during the evening hours would meet the pattern where it lives. NYC Open Data.
The citywide tools exist. Albany passed Sammy’s Law, giving New York City the power to set safer speeds, and advocates are pressing for a 20 MPH default where people live and walk. The worst repeat speeders can be stopped with intelligent speed limiters. Both steps are laid out here.
The road back to Richmond and Narrows
One intersection. One left turn. One body on the ground. It keeps happening. Slow the cars. Fix the corners. If you want it to stop, tell City Hall and your legislators to act now.
