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.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.

5 AM at York and 72nd
Precinct 19: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 4, 2025
Just before dawn on Aug 30, a taxi struck a pedestrian at York Avenue and E 72nd Street. The person died. source
They were one of 13 people killed on streets in Precinct 19 since Jan 1, 2022 — including 7 pedestrians and 2 cyclists. source
This is not easing. Year‑to‑date, this precinct logged 761 crashes with 391 injuries and 5 deaths, up from 569 crashes, 304 injuries, and 1 death at the same point last year — a 33.7% rise in crashes and 400% rise in deaths. source
The corners that keep breaking people
The worst toll clusters on FDR Drive and 2nd Avenue. FDR Drive leads in harm; 2nd Avenue is next. source
The clock has a pattern. Death strikes most at 5 PM and in the pre‑dawn hours around 4–6 AM. The Aug 30 death fits that curve. source
Named factors show up again and again: driver inattention/distraction, failure to yield, and running lights. source
Machines that kill on foot
Pedestrian deaths here include crashes with SUVs (4 deaths), trucks (2), and a taxi (1). Weight and height matter when they meet a human body. source
At York and 72nd, the city’s own record lists a taxi going straight and a pedestrian in the roadway. The outcome is the same: a body that does not get back up. source
Fix the blocks we know are deadly
Precinct 19 and DOT can act at known danger points:
- Daylight corners and add hardened turns on 2nd and 1st Avenues; give pedestrians lead‑time signals at wide crossings. source
- Target failure‑to‑yield and distracted driving at rush and pre‑dawn hours when deaths peak. source
- Tighten truck movements and loading on FDR access points and along East 85th, where injuries stack up. source
The citywide levers are ready
Lower speeds save lives. The city has the tools to drop default limits and to rein in repeat speeders. Both are on the table now. See how to push them here.
The person killed at 5 AM on York did not need to die. Neither did the twelve before them. The list does not stop unless we make it stop. Start with the fixes above. Then press City Hall and Albany to move. Act now.
