Too short of an area for traffic to merge. Traffic coming down Williamsburg St W trying to make left on Wythe to enter highway has to cross all the traffic exiting highway trying to straight or make a right. All this merging has to happen in 1/2 block. Very slow.
Traffic trying to exit at 31 frequently backs up quite far back into the right lane.
Many cars, trucks and busses cut in line over the white chevron lines because traffic backs up so far in the right lane to exit. Aggressive drivers create dangerous situations and create an air of unfairness, drivers that did wait in the long line try to prevent people cutting and its a sour situation. Some enforcement might help.
These intersections (and everywhere there's an on/off ramp) are absolutely horrible to cross as a pedestrian. People go so fast coming off or on the BQE. You should put speed bumps on the exits or something
There are no east-west crossings of Meeker, so you have to do an inconvenient zig-zag
The intersection here is so incredibly dangerous for pedestrians and bikers. This desperately needs to be dramatically redesigned!
I consider this BQE offramp to be a very dangerous intersection as a frequent pedestrian to the area. When given the crossing light across Metropolitan Ave, drivers coming off the offramp simultaneously have a right turn signal into the crosswalk. I have found that drivers here are especially aggressive and very frequently speed to make the light. I almost always feel unsafe crossing here and have been honked/yelled at while properly using the crosswalk.
Have a cop sit on the shoulder for those using it as an extra lane. This causes unnecessary traffic to the already slow portion of the BQE. I guarantee the cop will make their monthly ticket quota within a few hours.
The entire area on Park below the viaduct on the way to the the BQE is clogged up. Cars speed on Park to take the left onto Flushing or the left on Classon. There needs to be more speed bumps or streetlights. On Park Ave, between Grand and Steuben heading towards Classon. There's a curve in the road that's not lit well, so cars parked on Park Ave have been hit by speeding cars (hit and run) and our own house was hit by a speeding drunk driver. Also, underneath the viaduct is corroded and a constant illegal trash dump.
Do you want to show us the area in StreetView before submitting?
