This map is old. There is too much going on Freeman St. This is a residential street that is increasingly being used as a cut through, over traveling on commercial McGuinness and Manhattan. There is heavy motorist traffic at rush hours, with buses and commercial vehicles taking over the highly utilized bike lane. Motorists travel too fast from the light and bikers go the wrong way. There are frequently double parked vehicles blocking or partially blocking the roadway. This is not a truck route street and measures should be taken to re-route non-local traffic, including buses.
There is a lot of Cyclists traveling against traffic on Driggs from Manhattan Avenue till N 7th Street.
Since there is NO crosswalk from Metropoltian till N 5, this is an area where people cross one lane of traffic, one turning lane and 2 bike lanes. It is danagerous.
The wide, four-way intersection of Flushing Ave and Bushwick Ave is densely trafficked with both commercial truck and commuter use. Drivers heading Northwest on Bushwick Ave gain speed as they descend down the hill.
Extra wide parking lane, and on-curb driving to access both Gas Station and Car wash at this intersection makes for low visibility between drivers and other people using the street.
Needed speed camera on the Metropolitan Ave Bridge - this is a street! Not a highway. Especially dangerous is the width and lack of visual lane markings.
Safer access to the Williamsburg Bridge for biking and the walkability at the intersection of South 4th St and Havemeyer St can't come soon enough.
Transit police precinct vehicles block sidewalk, handicapped ramps and hydrants
Vehicles block bike lane during school drop-off/dismissal times
Trucks use Humboldt St exit off BQE, operate illegally on residential street
