No signage indicating that no trucks are allowed on this street unless they are making deliveries.

Large over-sided delivery trucks constantly speed down this street to avoid the congestion caused on 5th avenue because of other double parked trucks making deliveries. The speed is not only unsafe for pedestrians but also it is creating potholes in the street where I have witnessed people on bikes and scooters hitting the holes and falling.

Consistent trucks moving rapidly (usps, tractor trailors, etc) especially early morning. Very hazardous given narrow street and not even on a truck route

Huge speeding delivery trucks come down the street constantly. They also double park at the end of the street closer to 5th ave making deliveries.

I am afraid to cross this intersection because so many cars and trucks run through the red light trying to either get onto the BQE or to get through the incredibly congested intersection. We detour and cross Atlantic at Henry Street instead and avoid this intersection entirely it is so dangerous.

Large trucks travel up Columbia to access the Queens-bound BQE entrance (usually traveling by local road to avoid the BQE traffic on the trench). They turn right from Columbia onto Atlantic to get into a left turn lane to access the BQE entrance. Because of congestion, these large trucks end up blocking the intersection, and other cars that aren't getting on the BQE can't make the right hand turn onto Atlantic, including the B61 bus (which itself is large so cannot squeeze past a truck the way a car might be able to). This further exacerbates the congestion on Columbia Street and Atlantic Avenue and increases the danger to pedestrians trying to cross, who often have obstructed views of pedestrian crossing signals and have to walk around trucks with blind spots to incoming traffic.

Large trucks travel up Hicks Street to access the Queens-bound BQE entrance (usually traveling by local road to avoid the BQE traffic on the trench). They turn left from Hicks onto Atlantic to access the the BQE entrance. Because of congestion, these large trucks end up blocking the intersection, and other cars that aren't getting on the BQE can't go straight on Hicks or make the right or left hand turns onto Atlantic Avenue. This further exacerbates traffic on Hicks Street and Atlantic Avenue and increases the danger to pedestrians trying to cross, who often have obstructed views of pedestrian crossing signals and have to walk around trucks with blind spots to incoming traffic.
