What police write on their forms
Crash reports here cite drivers disregarding traffic control, inattention, and failure to yield among recorded causes. These are the boxes checked by officers on scene. Source.
Heavy vehicles are in the mix. Police counted pedestrian injuries and deaths involving buses and trucks alongside cars and SUVs. Source.
Fix the streets that keep breaking us
Start where the harm stacks up: daylight and harden turns on East 149 Street and Bruckner Boulevard; add leading pedestrian intervals and refuge space at St. Anns Avenue and E 138 St; tighten turns and mark no‑stopping zones where trucks sweep wide. Target night hours at repeat corners with enforcement the data flags.
Then scale what works. Lower the citywide default to 20 MPH and stop the worst repeat offenders with speed limiters. Albany has a bill—the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C)—to require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up violations. Tell them to pass it. Our explainer is here.
Your local officials include Council Member Diana I. Ayala, Assembly Member Chantel Jackson, and State Senator Jose Serrano. The record provided here does not show whether they back the Stop Super Speeders Act. Will they?
One step you can take now
