- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.

84th and 35th: a turn, a man down
SD 13: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just after a right turn at 84th Street and 35th Avenue on Sep 13, 2025, a driver hit a 57‑year‑old man in the crosswalk. Police recorded turning improperly and inattention by the driver; the victim bled badly but survived (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- On Sep 10, a driver turning right at 31st Avenue and 74th Street hit a 45‑year‑old on a bike (NYC Open Data).
The count does not stop
Since Jan 1, 2022, Queens SD 13 has recorded 9,672 crashes, 5,094 injuries, and 29 deaths. Fifty‑three were listed as serious injuries (NYC Open Data). In the past 12 months alone: 2,291 crashes, 1,355 injuries, and 3 deaths (NYC Open Data).
SUVs and sedans keep doing the harm. Among people walking in this district since 2022, drivers in SUVs were tied to 347 injuries and 6 deaths; drivers in sedans to 407 injuries and 3 deaths (NYC Open Data).
When speed rules, people die
Queens prosecutors said it plainly after another deadly Queens crash: “Our shared roadways are not a racetrack” (ABC7).
Albany advanced one tool to stop the worst repeat offenders. The Stop Super Speeders Act — S 4045 — would require speed‑limiting tech for drivers who rack up violations. State Sen. Jessica Ramos, who represents this district, co‑sponsored the bill and voted yes in committee on May 20, 2025 (Open States). She later missed a June 12 vote marked “excused” (Open States).
Fewer chances to kill
Lower speeds save lives. New York City now has the power to set safer limits on local streets. The city can drop the default on residential roads to 20 MPH. That choice is still waiting (CrashCount Take Action).
One man down at 84th and 35th. Two children hit at 31st and 74th. The fixes are known. The clock runs until someone uses them.
Take one step: tell City Hall to lower the default speed and tell Albany to pass the superspeeder bill. Start here.
