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.

On the Upper West Side, the street keeps taking
Precinct 20: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 1, 2025
On Oct 24, a driver in an SUV backed into a 34‑year‑old woman and a 7‑year‑old girl on West 76th Street. Police recorded driver inattention and inexperience; both were hurt (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Oct 23, at W 86 St and Columbus Ave, a bus driver hit an 83‑year‑old man in the crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
- Oct 15, near 2100 Broadway, a left‑turning sedan driver hit a 58‑year‑old man crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield and distraction (NYC Open Data).
The pattern doesn’t flinch
The same corridors keep showing up. Broadway. West End Avenue. Columbus Avenue. They lead the precinct in people hurt, according to police crash records (NYC Open Data).
Two intersections tell the story. Broadway. West End Avenue. Each has seen dozens injured here since 2022, with multiple cases of serious harm (NYC Open Data).
Who gets hit, and why
People walking and people on bikes carry the wounds. Police list failure to yield, distraction, and unsafe speed among recorded causes in serious cases in this precinct record set (NYC Open Data).
On Apr 23, 2025, a driver in an SUV going straight killed a 57‑year‑old man at Broadway and W 86 St (CrashID 4807749). On Oct 26, 2023, a taxi driver going straight killed an 89‑year‑old man in the crosswalk at Riverside Boulevard and W 70 St (CrashID 4674080). On Apr 24, 2025, a 74‑year‑old person on a bike died at W 70 St and West End Ave (CrashID 4807979).
Fix the corners that maim
Start where the injuries cluster. Harden left turns and daylight the crosswalks on Broadway, West End Avenue, and Columbus Avenue. Add leading pedestrian intervals and protect the bike movements at W 65–70 St, where repeated bike and pedestrian injuries appear in the record (NYC Open Data).
Target failure‑to‑yield and distraction at those corners. Precinct 20 can run focused enforcement where police data shows harm, including the W 86 St and Columbus Ave intersection where a bus driver hit an 83‑year‑old man (NYC Open Data).
End the repeat speeding that ends lives
The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force drivers with heavy camera or points records to use speed limiters. It is built for the small group who do outsized harm. The case is laid out here.
Council Member Gale A. Brewer, Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal, and State Senator Brad Hoylman‑Sigal represent this area. The bill is on the table. The need is on these corners.
Lower speeds save lives. Limit the worst offenders. Start with the blocks that keep bleeding. Take one step now: push for action.
