Difficult Truck Turn
Difficult Truck Turn
Degraw St - Van Brunt St - Columbia St

NORTHbound 18-wheelers and other large cargo trucks take this very sharp LEFT turn across traffic and pedestrian crosswalks. The high-traffic truck route CROSSES a bike/park route that is frequented by many pedestrians with children and dogs, and also a lot of bikes (again, children). Trucks are expected to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk while simultaneously navigating vehicles stopped in the intersection (due to traffic). It is simply NOT safe to cross in front of these trucks on foot. They are too big to see the little kids running and on scooters. This is a disaster waiting to happen. There should be an all-stop of all automobiles in all directions for pedestrians and bikes to cross safely.

Columbia St - Bike Path - Degraw St

Southbound 18-wheelers and other large cargo trucks take this very sharp right turn faster than they should. The high-traffic truck route CROSSES a bike/park route that is frequented by many pedestrians with children and dogs, and also a lot of bikes (again, children). Standing at the red light is not safe. Crossing with a green light is not safe. There should be an all-stop of automobiles in all directions for pedestrians and bikes to cross.

Brooklyn Queens Expwy Et 27 Eb - Brooklyn Queens Expwy Et 27 Eb - Atlantic Ave

I was at this location yesterday, and considered walking to the waterfront. After assessing the unruly traffic (18-wheelers included), I decided that it was NOT safe to approach the waterfront via Atlantic Ave.

Bqe Eb Entrance Atlantic Ave - Atlantic Ave - Brooklyn Queens Expressway

As a driver, I find this ramp difficult to navigate. As a pedestrian, I have only crossed it once recently. I am an able-bodied adult who was making eye contact with drivers, and I was traumatized by the experience, which I liken to trying to cross the BQE itself. For fear of my life, I walk way out of my way to avoid ever stepping onto this ramp.

Atlantic Avenue between Court and Hicks feels like a death trap for pedestrians (and has been for a number) with the trucks barreling by. I live one block south and avoid shopping and activities across Atlantic when with my two young children it feels so dangerous

18-wheelers regularly drive down this street. This is NOT a truck route

Court St - Sackett St - Union St

For years, from 11PM to 3AM, I have witnessed very large private garbage trucks speeding down Court Street (30+ mph) often blowing through red lights. These trucks should not be using Court Street as a shortcut, even late at night and certainly not at such high speeds.

Degraw St - Columbia St - Tiffany Pl

Large trucks heading northbound regularly fail to make the left onto Columbia and get stuck on this street. Illegally parked cars at the T-intersection at Hicks Street make a difficult right turn impossible, such that trucks need to back out into the VERY busy truck route intersection at Columbia and Degraw.
