Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 81?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 81 School Zones

(since 2022)
Precinct 81: Four dead, hundreds hurt. Same streets, same story.

Precinct 81: Four dead, hundreds hurt. Same streets, same story.

Precinct 81: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025

Another driver. Same ending.

The bodies keep coming from the same corridors. The records do not heal. They count.

Night takes the most.

  • The worst hours stack up after dark. 11 p.m. shows two deaths. 3 a.m. shows one. 6 a.m. shows one. Injuries spike at 8 p.m., 9 p.m., 10 p.m., and after. The tally marks a long night. Hourly distribution.
  • Since 2022, this precinct logged 2,231 crashes, 1,167 injuries, and four deaths. SUVs and cars led the harm to people on foot: three pedestrian deaths tied to SUVs in the local rollup. Period stats.

Broadway bleeds.

  • Broadway is a top hot spot, with one death and 175 injuries. Top intersections. Marcus Garvey Blvd holds two deaths.
  • Pedestrians pay most: four killed, 247 hurt; cyclists: 124 hurt. The numbers are plain. Mode split.

What police said.

Three corners. One fix.

  • Broadway at Suydam. Broadway at Myrtle. Marcus Garvey at Van Buren. These are the repeat scenes. The tool kit is not new: hardened turns, daylighting, and leading pedestrian intervals. Targeted night operations at these corners. The data says when and where. Open Data.

Officials know what works — do they?

  • The city can slow the whole grid. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. A 20 mph default would make every crash more survivable. The call is simple. Take action.
  • A few drivers do outsized harm. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force repeat speeders to use speed limiters. This targets the worst risks. Take action.

Don’t wait for the next siren.

  • Broadway and Suydam. Marcus Garvey and Van Buren. Broadway and Myrtle. The clock runs late. The road takes what we let it take. Open Data.
