 
 I live on 6th Street between 4th and 3rd Ave in Brooklyn. There are always speeding trucks and cars on our street. A lot of truck/site seeing buses seem to use our street to bypass the turn onto 9th St. In the evening there are always site seeing buses turning onto this block off of 4th Ave and it is a hard turn for them as the street is one way. Sometimes the buses will stop near our building, as there is a no parking zone next to our building that is large enough to fit a bus,sometimes for extended periods, before they continue to wherever they are heading. There is a large UHaul located on this block and not only do the customers speed, but the employees will drive UHaul vehicles the wrong way down the street or the sidewalk at high speed, so they don't have to go around the block in order to move trucks from the back lot which is near 3rd Ave to the front lot that is off of 4th Ave. We also notice that in the early mornings there are deliveries to the commercial businesses that can hold up traffic for extended periods of time as we get to hear all of the honking from the people that get stuck behind these delivery trucks. This is mainly a commercial street, but the speeding trucks and cars are not safe. I don't know if anything can be done to stop trucks from turning on 6th Street so they can avoid the 9th Street turn. I don't think it is possible to add speed bumps on this street because of the commercial businesses, but maybe it would helpful if this street was local delivery and UHaul trucks only to cut down on the speeding vehicles and hold ups from deliveries on this street.
