Evening on 4th Avenue, another body in the crosswalk

Precinct 68: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 27, 2025

Just after 8:30 PM on Nov 22, a driver turning left in a 2016 Lexus sedan hit a 35-year-old man crossing with the signal outside 6424 4 Avenue. Police recorded driver inattention; he was hurt and conscious at the scene (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Nov 22, a driver starting from a parking spot in a 2006 Honda sedan hit a 22-year-old on a bike at 7216 13 Avenue; police recorded distraction (NYC Open Data).
  • Nov 19 at Bay Ridge Parkway and 6 Avenue, a left-turning SUV driver hit a 19-year-old on a bike; police cited distraction and failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
  • Nov 18 at 6 Avenue and 65 Street, a right-turning pickup driver hit an e-bike with a 3-year-old passenger; police recorded failure to yield and unsafe lane changing (NYC Open Data).

The toll here is not abstract

Since Jan 1, 2022, Precinct 68 has logged 23 deaths and 2,588 injuries in traffic crashes, including 10 people walking and 1 person on a bike (NYC Open Data). Harm repeats in the evening: deaths recur at 6–9 PM in the precinct’s hourly records (NYC Open Data).

Police reports name failure to yield and distraction again and again in local crashes, including this week’s left- and right-turn hits on 6 Avenue (NYC Open Data).

Corners that keep breaking people

Shore Road leads the precinct’s hot spots, with 3 deaths and 22 injuries since 2022. 4 Avenue is another corridor of harm, with 2 deaths and 61 injuries. Bay Ridge Parkway also stands out, with a recorded death and dozens hurt (NYC Open Data).

At these corners, turning drivers are a theme. Hardened left turns. Daylighting. Leading pedestrian intervals. Enforce failure to yield at peak hours. These are basic steps that match the pattern the records show at Bay Ridge Parkway and 6 Avenue and at 6 Avenue and 65 Street this week (NYC Open Data).

Power sits with City Hall and Albany

The city now has the power to lower speeds. A slower default limit would give people walking a chance when a driver looks away or turns across them. The state has a bill to force chronic violators to install speed limiters after repeated camera tickets. The proposal would lock out the worst repeat speeders before the next left turn ends a life. Both steps are detailed here (CrashCount Take Action).

Council Member Alexa Avilés represents this precinct at City Hall (District 38). In Albany, Assembly Member Alec Brook-Krasny (AD 46) and State Senator Steve Chan (SD 17) hold votes that matter here. The public record provided does not show whether they have sponsored the speed-limiter bill. What gives?

Do the obvious now

  • On Shore Road and 4 Avenue: daylighting, hardened turns, and LPIs at top-injury intersections.
  • On 6 Avenue at Bay Ridge Parkway and at 65 Street: targeted failure-to-yield enforcement during evening peaks.
  • Citywide: lower the default speed limit; pass the speed-limiter bill for repeat camera violators (CrashCount Take Action).

One turn on 4 Avenue put a man on the ground. The same fixes could keep the next person standing.
