Parents demanded immediate safety improvements around their kids’ schools on Monday, in the wake of a Post report that revealed scores of pedestrians and bicyclists have been struck by cars nearby.

Luz Tyman said she drives her 13-year-daughter rather than let her make the 10-minute walk to the Great Oaks Charter School on the Lower East Side, but was still shocked to find out how dangerous the streets are surrounding the school.

“Seventy-eight accidents near my daughter’s school? Wow, that’s unbelievable,” said Tyman, 49. “I know traffic is bad out here, but that’s really bad. The city has to do something.”

And in a vivid demonstration of the dangers facing students, a flatbed truck sideswiped a Post photographer’s car while it was parked in front of the commercial building that houses Great Oaks at 38 Delancey St.

The 8:40 a.m. collision demolished the driver-side mirror and shattered the front vent on the 2010 Honda Civic, but neither the photographer nor a reporter sitting inside at the time were injured.

The Localize.city real-estate research startup analyzed official data to rank Great Oaks No. 2 on a list of city schools with the most pedestrians and cyclists hit within 500 feet between 2013 and 2017.

The dubious distinction of being No. 1 went to Collegiate Harvest HS in Greenwich Village, with 84 nearby incidents.

Dana Martinez, 46, said she she’s been driving son Joseph, 14, to Great Oaks since they almost got creamed while walking there a few months ago.

“We had to jump out of the way right over here on Delancey. A car ran the red and nearly hit us,” she said.

“I’d rather drive him than he dodge cars in the street. I don’t trust these maniacs.”

The school’s director of operations, Angel Pena, said parents complain to him about the traffic “all the time.”

At the Neighborhood Charter School of Harlem, which tied for No. 7 with 49 collisions, mom Esky Zapata, 41, said she saw a car narrowly miss a group of students while blowing through a red light on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard last week.

“Just from the speed it was going the car didn’t look like it was going to stop, so I told the kids to stay back,” said Zapata, who has a son in fourth grade.

“I pick my son up every day but he’s getting older and you really do get scared. Are they going to stop for the kids? You don’t know.”

The city Department of Transportation said it would review the streets flagged by Localize.city with an eye toward reducing traffic dangers.
