Dangerously fast 18 wheeler in residential area with kids
Comment has been flagged for review.
As a bicycle rider, taking a left turn from Classon to Flushing under the BQE is terrifying, loud, and overall bad for my health. Cut the number of lanes, redirect the highway on/off traffic away from this intersection, and provide a bicycle-truck physical separation.
Great deal of truck traffic here colliding with bicycle traffic heading to the Brooklyn Greenway. Combined with the next intersection one block north, these two blocks are possibly the most terrible part of my ride.
intersection with frequent cyclist-truck conflicts
Congested intersection. I’ve seen trucks run lights and blare their horns instead of yielding to pedestrians.
Truck traffic negatively impacts air quality when Dyer Avenue is congested due to heavy vehicle traffic; and all cars and trucks idle on the street as they wait their turn to get to, or depart from, the Lincoln tunnel. Also, when stuck in traffic trucks will often honk their horns; significantly contributing to noise pollution in this residential area.
Too many trucks speeding and unaware of pedestrian crossing on Furman.
Trucks should be routed down Rust Street/56th Road through the industrial area rather than go east down residential Metropolitan Avenue. Trucks speed down Metropolitan to reach the BQE. Why not route them through the industrial area to reach the BQE? It would be no longer of a route for the trucks to go down Rust/56th than going down Metropolitan. Overall it would vastly improve the residential, pedestrian and retail experience on Metropolitan. This would increase property values and taxes, a boon for the city.
