Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 94?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 94 School Zones

(since 2022)
Left turns, broken bodies: Precinct 94’s pattern won’t let up

Left turns, broken bodies: Precinct 94’s pattern won’t let up

Precinct 94: Jan 1, 2022 - Dec 4, 2025

Just after 6 PM on Nov 25, at Nassau Ave and Kingsland Ave, a driver turning left hit a person in the crosswalk. Police recorded driver inattention and failure to yield; the person was crossing with the signal (open data).

In this precinct, since 2022, 11 people have been killed and 1,747 injured in 4,026 crashes (open data). The toll does not ease. This year, crashes fell to 869 from 906, but deaths rose to 5 from 1, with injuries at 424 (open data).

This Week

  • Nov 25: At Nassau and Kingsland, a left‑turning sedan hit a person crossing with the signal; police cited driver inattention and failure to yield (open data).
  • Nov 24: At McGuinness Blvd and Nassau Ave, a driver in an SUV turned left and hit a person crossing with the signal; police recorded inattention (open data).
  • Nov 24: On McGuinness Blvd near 211, a person on a bike going straight was injured in a crash with a sedan that was stopped in traffic (open data).
  • Nov 23: At Bedford Ave and Lorimer St, a driver in an SUV turned right and injured a person crossing in a marked crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (open data).

Where it keeps happening

Police list Greenpoint Avenue as a top location here with one death and dozens hurt since 2022. Driggs Ave also ranks among the worst for serious injuries (open data). Deaths often land in the dark hours: multiple fatalities at midnight, 3 AM, and again around 7 PM (open data).

Heavy vehicles hit hardest. Trucks and buses killed four people walking here since 2022 (open data). On the BQE inside the precinct, police also logged unsafe speed and lane changes as causes in recent crashes (open data).

The pattern: turns, speed, night

The left‑turn hits keep coming at Nassau Ave. Police recorded failure to yield by drivers in both crosswalk cases above. Night and early‑morning deaths pile up, which means darkness and fatigue meet speed on wide streets. McGuinness and Meeker see steady harm.

Precinct 94 and DOT have tools for this. Use hardened centerlines and daylighting on Nassau and McGuinness. Add leading pedestrian intervals and protected turns at repeat corners. Target trucks on Meeker and the BQE ramps at night. Aim enforcement at failure‑to‑yield and unsafe speed—the causes police keep writing down here (open data).

Citywide fixes that would help here

Speed decides who lives. The city has the power to set safer speeds. A 20 MPH default on residential streets would give people walking a chance. The state can also stop the worst repeat offenders. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act would require drivers with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year to install a speed‑limiting device, capping them at the limit plus 5 MPH (details and bill info).

The Nassau and Kingsland crosswalk is not special. It is ordinary. That is the horror. The next left‑turn hit is already lining up.

Take one step: tell City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and rein in repeat speeders. Start here.
