Belt Parkway before sunrise. Two drivers. One man dead.
SD 10: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just after 5:45 AM on Sep 12, on the westbound Belt Parkway near 146th Street, a man tried to cross. Police said two drivers hit him. He died there in South Ozone Park (amNY; NYC Open Data).
He is one of 46 people killed in traffic in Senate District 10 since Jan 1, 2022, by our count from city crash records (NYC Open Data). This year isn’t easing. Through the year to date, crashes are up 7.7% and injuries up 8.0% from last year. Deaths rose from 4 to 13 — a 225% jump (NYC Open Data).
The pattern does not blink
One month earlier, a 52‑year‑old man crossed South Conduit Avenue near JFK in the dark. The driver hit him and ran. “The operator of the vehicle fled the scene after hitting the man,” police said (ABC7). He died at the hospital (Gothamist).
Since 2022, people walking keep paying the price on these fast roads — Belt Parkway, North and South Conduit, Rockaway Boulevard — corridors that show up again and again in the city’s own crash logs (NYC Open Data).
Hold the line on speed — and hold repeat offenders
Albany renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. The next step is reining in the worst repeat speeders. The Senate’s Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) would force chronic violators to use in‑car speed limiters. Senator James Sanders voted yes in committee on Jun 12, 2025 (Open States).
The Assembly has its own companion bill. Assembly Member Stacey Pheffer Amato represents this area. Will she help pass it? What about Council Member Joann Ariola — will she back safer defaults on local streets?
Slow the default, save a life
New York City can set lower residential speed limits. That tool exists. Use it. Our city’s own advocates say drivers who rack up camera tickets are far more likely to kill. Lower speeds and speed limiters cut the risk, now — not later (Take Action).
This is the work in front of us. A man crossed at dawn and never made it. We can slow the cars. Start today (Take Action).
