Dangerous conflict between bikers and trucks turning right onto Tillary from NB Jay. Construction has blocked part of turn lane so truck often make wide turns form center lane. A biker was run over and almost killed this way on 10/11/2016. http://nyc.streetsblog.org/2016/10/11/truck-driver-severely-injures-cyclist-in-downtown-brooklyn/
There is No Trucks except local deliveries sign facing south on 5th Ave at Dean St, but the local truck route on 5th Ave extends one block further to Bergen. The sign should be moved to 5th Ave at Bergen where all trucks except local deliveries must turn right (and head west).
Right turns from 5th Av to Flatbush are banned, but truck route sign with arrows point left and right could make truck drivers think they can turn right.
Lots of trucks drive down Dean between 3rd Ave (a truck route) and 4th Ave (a truck route) without making a delivery. Clearly illegal.
I live on Purves Street. Because of the construction, there are constantly trucks and construction worker cars parked on Purves even though there are no parking signs. There are also UPS, FreshDirect, USPS, etc. It is also a dead end street. The street is narrow, so if any cars park the cars and trucks have to maneuver slowly through. The cars and trucks frequently have to make difficult three point turns at the dead end. There is a residential garage at the end of Purves and it is also frequently blocked. There's sometimes no way for the trucks to go, so sometimes that either (1) block up Jackson Avenue idling or (2) drive up on the Purves sidewalk. There are ALOT more residents these days are Purves.
Large trucks are frequently unable to make the right from Thomson Avenue onto Jackson Avenue because vehicles are parked in front of the businesses on Jackson Avenue. When it is exceptionally large trucks, they have to keeping back up and back in to try to squeeze by. This blocks up traffic on Jackson and Thomson and may cause damage to people's cars.
This intersection is impossible for pedestrians to cross as the closest traffic lights are too far apart. There is a desperate need of a traffic light here. Cars and trucks speed past this intersection all day long. Heavy truck traffic also causing many accidents.
there are no stop signs so trucks use this internal road
Delivery trucks are frequently double parked here, making for dangerous biking and driving conditions and low visibility for crossing pedestrians. Need more dedicated loading/unloading zones here!
Contractor vehicles and delivery trucks, as well as UPS/USPS/FedEx are double parked throughout the day. Street sweeping often does not occur because of double parked traffic. Street sweeping should be reduced to once a week for each side of street.
