Meserole Ave - Lorimer St - Manhattan Ave

This intersection desperately needs a stop sign. There is a YMCA with tons of children on one corner, a police precinct on another corner and and elementary school p.s. 31 on the other corner. Cars go way too fast in an area with lots of pedestrians. Additionally, cars crossing the intersection on Lorimer must pull into the middle of the street in order to see if cars are coming down Meserole then pull out while praying that a pedestrian hasn't decided to cross at the same time. Someone's going to get killed.

Monitor St - Driggs Ave - Nassau Ave

Monitor Street along McGolrick Park is incredibly dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists and especially for children attending PS 110! Despite the new speed bumps and no trucks signage, large trucks still use Monitor Street to get to the BQE. They speed over the speed bumps and often do not stop at the intersection of Driggs and Monitor (by PS 110!!!!) They completely disregard the school zone signs. Could we get some flashing lights on the no trucks and school zone signs? I don't know what else can be done.

Kent Ave - South 3 St - South 4 St

This is a major entrance route to the Kent Bike Lane (especially for those commuting across the Williamsburg Bridge heading north). There is no traffic control for the cars on Kent. I think there should be a light here.

Bike lane on Manhattan Ave. is completely worn away for several blocks. Needs repainting!

Bushwick Ave - Woodpoint Rd - Metropolitan Ave

This intersection of Maspeth and Woodpoint Rd. is heavily used by pedestrians. There is no crosswalk. The traffic on Woodpoint is heavy and two-way. Especially dangerous is cars using this right-turn lane and not seeing pedestrians about to cross. There is inadequate lighting, and at night, pedestrians are invisible. I've seen a man struck by a car here, even though he was in the crosswalk across Maspeth. You can see that sight lines are blocked by illegal parking on the sidewalk. With thousands more people living in new buildings east of this intersection, it's only a matter of time before someone is killed. The whole intersection needs redesigning.

Maspeth Ave - Debevoise Ave - Morgan Ave

Illegal truck traffic is constant on this two-way stretch of Maspeth Ave. (between Morgan and Woodpoint), which borders on Cooper Park. Better signage prohibiting trucks and perhaps a neck-down at the intersection of Morgan and Maspeth would deter trucks from using this illegal "shortcut."

Conflicting Turns
Maspeth Ave - Kingsland Ave - Olive St

Pedestrians are in danger when they attempt to cross, even in the crosswalk. At this intersection of two two-way streets, cars turn from three directions, often disregarding pedestrians in the crosswalk. Solution could be three-way stop signs and two additional crosswalks across Maspeth Ave.
