Drivers speeding in a rage
Every day vehicle are parked in the bus stop. NYPD does not ticket or tow anyone.
Eastbound on Atlantic Avenue drivers are always speeding from Flatbush Avenue attempting to make the light at 6th Avenue. It is dangerous for no reason. There are no speed cameras or anything to deter the speeding. NYPD does not enforce traffic laws on this block.
The Atlantic Ave subway terminal is the largest one in Brooklyn. There needs to be more bicycle parking available here, and secure bicycle parking. Secure bicycle parking would allow so many cyclists to use this transit hub, but they don't right now out of fear of their bicycles being stolen.
Safely navigating to Broadway Junction or through it to connect to Highland Park is treacherous. There is no cycling infrastructure, roads are rough, buses and vehicles speeding off/on the highway make it very complex to get through safely. Some way to link Crown Heights to Highland Park more directly would be very helpful. There is enough space from Eastern Parkway to Bushwick Ave to Highland Blvd for bicycle traffic to flow that way. Some kind of safer connection to Broadway Junction would be nice too, as it is a major transit hub with no reasonable way to reach it on a bicycle.
Crossing Flatbush Avenue as a pedestrian is so dangerous. Drivers speed and run red lights a lot.
Drivers are always speeding on this long block. They are frustrated from waiting at the blocked box 6th Avenue intersection, so they floor it and there are no speed cameras going east.
Mid block crossing here would be so helpful. With the timing of the lights at either end of the block, there is plenty of time and space for pedestrians to cross here early before the chaotic 6th Avenue intersection.
The bike lane connection through the narrow pedestrian space here is dangerous. There is a large volume of pedestrians and cyclists that travel through this space, and visibility is terrible because of the food trucks. The design appears to be set up to maximize conflicts and crashes. This needs to change.
Due to the design of this intersection, and driver behavior, pedestrians crossing Atlantic Avenue on the east side are often walking with cars that are driving in the crosswalk because the intersection is so blocked with other cars. It is so scary and dangerous to be walking as drivers are coming at you and from behind you in the crosswalk.
