Observed Pedestrian and Truck Conflict
05/20/2024 - 13:42
Atlantic Ave - Hicks St - Brooklyn
Large Trucks seeking to access the Queens-bound BQE create significant congestion on Atlantic Avenue. This leads to trucks and cars frequently speeding through lights and blocking the intersection. Both of these create significant pedestrian safety hazards to people attempting to cross the street, who are either at risk of being hit by a speeding truck/car, have an obstructed view of a pedestrian crossing signal, or have to walk blindly into oncoming traffic to go around cars/trucks parked in the intersection.
