Correction — September 18, 2026: The earlier 91-record warning relied on monitoring entries and did not establish a population crash rate. It has been replaced with fatality counts and explicit limits. The original URL and publication record are retained.
| County | Pedestrians killed | Bicyclists killed |
|---|---|---|
| Nassau | 404 | 58 |
| Suffolk | 605 | 89 |
These are people killed, not the number of crashes. The table does not count all injuries or measure the number or distance of walking and cycling trips. It cannot compare an individual’s walking and cycling risk or identify the safest crossing.
How to read these records
The figures cover 2010–2024, not 2026. The downloaded 2024 files were labeled preliminary when retrieved on September 17, 2026. A fatal crash and a person killed are different units: a single crash can kill more than one person.
NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System records qualifying fatal traffic crashes. It does not provide a census of every injury, breakdown or lane closure. Our tables count distinct year-and-case identifiers and retain the reported fatalities.
The full road report and downloadable data explain county limits, road assignment and missing coordinates. These are historical counts, without a denominator for miles driven, trips or traffic volume. They cannot establish the safest route or the chance of a crash on a particular trip.
For present conditions, check 511NY and posted restrictions. Historical counts do not establish whether a road is open now.
