Unsafe Crossing

09/24/2026 - 15:36

Atlantic Ave - Ft Greene Pl - 6 Ave

Pedestrians need refuge islands with actual physical protection to cross Atlantic Avenue. The road is very wide, with a huge amount of cars and trucks, and everyone is angry and speeding. There is no safety for pedestrians if any driver makes an error.

Unsafe Crossing

09/24/2026 - 15:35

6 Ave - Pacific St - Dean St

Crossing 6th Avenue here is dangerous because the allowed crossing time is so short. Unless you walk fast immediately there is no way to make it across before drivers might hit you. There is only about 8-9 seconds of time to cross. It needs to be longer or the distance shorter.

Red Light Running

09/24/2026 - 15:34

6 Ave - Pacific St - Dean St

Drivers run this red light basically every light cycle.

Difficult Turn/Crossing

09/24/2026 - 15:32

Dean St - Flatbush Ave - 6 Ave

Cycling through this intersection on Dean Street is dangerous because vehicles are parked in the left turn lane. Drivers turning left are forced to cross the cycling path, defeating the purpose of the road design, and there have been numerous crashes because of this.

Speeding

09/24/2026 - 15:31

Bergen St - Carlton Ave - Vanderbilt Ave

Speeding on this block is so dangerous. Because the street is wider, I have seen drivers illegally pass other drivers doing well over 50 mph. They were traveling at highway speeds on the edge of the road with small children with parents walking on the sidewalk. There is no culture of safety at all and we need to physically slow down drivers and make it impossible for them to drive so recklessly.

Red Light Running

Bergen St - Carlton Ave - Vanderbilt Ave

Drivers run red lights here in both directions. Always in a rush. Always driving too fast.

Speeding

Dean St - Vanderbilt Ave - Underhill Ave

After navigating the rough road of Dean Street and busy intersection of Vanderbilt, drivers floor it to speed down this street which makes it very dangerous.

Bike Lane Protection

09/24/2026 - 15:27

Dean St - Carlton Ave - Vanderbilt Ave

Bike lane protection is needed here because there is nothing to stop drivers from driving and parking in the bike lane. NYPD does not ticket here, so there is no reason to follow any laws on this street.
