Corners that keep breaking people

Police note common driver errors in these crashes: inattention/distraction, following too closely, disregarding traffic control, failure to yield, alcohol involvement, and improper passing. Source.
What Precinct 90 and DOT can target now
- Protect crossings at Union Avenue, Broadway, and Morgan Avenue with daylighting, hardened turns, and leading pedestrian intervals.
- Slow turns and through‑traffic where people bike and walk. Use raised crossings and tightened corners on repeat corridors.
- Aim enforcement at failure‑to‑yield and distraction where the injuries stack up.
Citywide levers that would matter here
Lower speeds save lives. New York City now has the authority to set safer limits and is rolling out 20 MPH zones. Use it where people are being hurt. See how and where to push for a wider rollout here.
The worst repeat offenders do outsized harm. Albany has a bill—the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C)—to require speed limiters for drivers with heavy point loads or many camera tickets. Push your representatives to back it. Details and call scripts are here.
Local offices for this precinct: Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, Assembly Member Emily Gallagher, and State Senator Julia Salazar. This record does not show their sponsorship status on the speed‑limiter bill. Ask them to put it on the record. Context.
The work in front of us
One woman died on Meserole. The books already held too many names. The next one is preventable if we slow cars, harden the dangerous corners, and stop the repeat offenders. Start with one call. Take action.
