East 7 St - Church Ave - Beverley Rd
Trucks and other vehicles frequently run this red light in an attempt to get to the Church Ave intersection and turn onto the Prospect Expressway. It is used by many school children walking to/from PS 130/MS 839,

Church Ave - Ocean Parkway - Ocean Parkway Bike Path
This is an extremely dangerous intersection for pedestrians, particularly on the northside heading from west to east. At least 2 pedestrians have been killed by trucks turning right onto the Prospect Expressway in the last 7 years. The walk light is not long enough for pedestrians to cross before vehicles have a green light.
Difficult Truck Turn

Ocean Parkway - Church Ave - Beverley Rd
Trucks turning north onto the Prospect Expressway from Church Ave (westbound) frequently have difficulty making this turn. A semi hits the bollard on the pedestrian island at least once a week, and they run into the wall dividing Church Ave and/or get stuck regularly.

Trucks coming off the Prospect Expressway are often going way too fast, and often ignore the stop sign and crosswalk-this is a heavily used intersection by pedestrians of all ages

Prospect Expressway - Prospect Expressway Exit 6 Eb - Church Ave
This is one of the most dangerous intersections in the neighborhood and also one of the busiest. Crossing the street as a pedestrian is risking your life; numerous people have been hit and killed here. The signage is poor. The light signals are too short and confusing. The road condition is abysmal. Between the expressway ending, the truck route, the bus route, the bike lane and Ocean Parkway, there has got to be a safer, better design that prioritizes pedestrian and cyclist safety.

Dahill Rd - Minna St - 12 Ave
Not a truck route yet drivers constantly use it as a short cut to bypass McDonald. This is a narrow, residential, two way street with an elementary school and playground. Trucks speed down Dahill, run the red light at 12th Avenue and frequently block traffic. Why are traffic laws not enforced?

Mcdonald Ave - Ft Hamilton Parkway - Caton Ave
Extremely dangerous and confusing intersection where the truck route, pedestrian, bike and bus traffic meet. Too many vehicles run red lights, trucks block the intersection making pedestrian signals impossible to see. Pedestrian signals are too short.
