Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway - Degraw St - Bike Path

Commercial trucks speed around the corner which has limited visibility.

Difficult Truck Turn
Difficult Truck Turn
Atlantic Ave - 3 Ave - 4 Ave

The right turn lane onto 3rd Ave gets backed up with heavy trucks and car commuters during evening commuting time and I have witnessed multiple rear-enders and scrapes between commercial trucks and cars merging into the lane to turn, as well as trucks driving over the curb.

3 Ave - State St - Atlantic Ave

Movement into this corridor is chaos, especially around evening commute times. In all, the northern cross at 3rd Ave/Atlantic Ave is consistently congested with (aggravated, as per the persistent daily honking) drivers, stranding drivers in the middle of the intersection and on the crosswalk when the lights change (perhaps the timing of the lights between Atlantic & Schermerhorn can be tweaked?). Pedestrians often walk around trucks into the intersection to cross, and cars trying to beat the light often speedily turn towards crossing pedestrians and need to throw on the brakes.

Van Dam St - Gale Ave - Lie Wb Entrance Van Dam St

All vehicles (not just trucks) speed down either direction of van dam street trying to beat the red lights here. The red light and speed cameras aren’t working. Maybe install modified speed bumps like the ones on review ave that were installed to deter the street racers.

Borden Ave - Gale Ave - Borden Ave

This is just a repeat comment for the opposite side of this specific roadway The roadway here needs to be repaired and redesigned. The roadway here experiences too much heavy trucking for conventional roadway paving. The sheer weight of the tractor trailers and causing the ground to compact. At the edges of the roadways on both directions of Borden ave see elevated levels of asphalt because the weight of the trucks are pushing the asphalt. The sub grade here below the asphalt is either eroding because of the poor drainage here from ground water or a better engineered sub grade needs to be used before applying asphalt. Perhaps using highway grade roadways for this portion of Borden ave is necessary to prevent the need to regrade and repave every 2 years.

Stratford Rd - Dorchester Rd - Ditmas Ave

Trucks illegally use (and speed up) Stratford Road as an alternate route to Coney Island Ave going northbound, even though it is not a trucking route, and even though they should not be using Ditmas Ave., either.

Caton Ave - Stratford Rd - Westminster Rd

It is terrifying as a cyclist (and as a pedestrian) to use Caton Ave because there is not enough room on the street with the enormous trucks. It is highly inappropriate that Caton Ave is a major trucking route since it is so close to the Parade Ground, where many pedestrians and cyclists travel, and exit onto Caton Ave. after exiting the Parade Ground.

Confusing Truck Route Signage
Confusing Truck Route Signage
Coney Island Ave - Ditmas Ave - Ditmas Ave

There is a very small sign that trucks do not obey, limiting access to Ditmas Ave to only local deliveries. But trucks routinely travel through Ditmas Ave going east where 18th Ave becomes Ditmas Ave and do not obey the sign. Moreover, many of these trucks speed.

Ditmas Ave - Coney Island Ave - Stratford Rd

Trucks speed through this block (Ditmas Ave between Coney Island Ave and Stratford Road) even though there is a major pedestrian crossing at Ditmas Ave and Coney Island Ave, and very active pedestrian activity on Ditmas Ave. Trucks generally should not even be on this street because it is marked (albeit with very obscured signage) as for local deliveries only.
