On this corner is a city park where kids play afterschool sports and babies should use the playground, but since it's surrounded by this enormous road with trucks roaring through the intersection I can't let my kids walk there. Even when they're accompanied by an adult it's dangerous when the trucks blow the light to make turns (often).

This is a major pedestrian intersection in the middle of a residential and shopping neighborhood, but it is also near the bqe on ramp/offramp so trucks are flying along here. The intersection here is very dangerous for pedestrians.

Atlantic avenue is a highway in the middle of a neighborhood. It is so dangerous and the trucks are regularly speeding along this stretch.

The school zones of PS261 and PS38 are on both sides of Atlantic avenue, so hundreds of elementary aged children have to cross at this and nearby intersections. The trucks speed and blow the lights, creating an environment where cars also speed and blow the lights. There's no crossing guard and it's like having an elementary school across a highway with no safe crossing.

Trucks drive to fast down Atlantic Ave. They turn while light is yellow and even red

Hicks St - Atlantic Ave - Brooklyn
I am afraid to cross at this intersection, regardless of early pedestrian walk light. Trucks entering and exiting the BQE go through this intersection, often run the light or block the crosswallks and intersections, and I'm never sure that they can even see the pedestrians. Plus there are ambulances exiting from the NYU facility on the corner which need the right of way, and trucks trying to turn left from Atlantic on to Hicks street, possibly to avoid the upcoming restrictions on the Queens-bound BQE. Extremely dangerous intersection.

Trucks on Atlantic Ave, and turning from Hicks St to Atlantic Ave, pose a serious safety risk to pedestrians crossing Atlantic Ave at that intersection.
