3 Ave - State St - Atlantic Ave
Trucks should be banned from this section of 3rd ave (and maybe even all of 3rd). This section is narrow, and doesn't have an easy outlet. Trucks could easily be moved onto 4th and have better turning access to Atlantic and Flatbush from there. I'd actually recommend this section of 3rd be closed to vehicles completely.

Fulton St - Nichols Ave - Lincoln Ave - Brooklyn
Embarquee AA is a local shipping company located on Fulton Street between Nichols Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. These coming completely takes over these streets as well as the intersections, both sides of Nichols Avenue, on Lincoln Avenue from 7 am-9 pm 6 days a week, blocking intersections, idling their trucks, loading and unloading their many trucks and vans, crossing lanes, backing up their trucks. Parking their blue container trailer, taking over all the parking 24/7, yes leaving their parked trucks and blue trailer on Fulton Streets. They take up all the parking on Fulton Street where there I no truck loading zones. They should not be able to operate like this on their narrown2 way Street, making noise and pollution, taking up all the parking on 4 blocks and intersections as they do for 6bdays awake.

Nichols Ave - Fulton St - Brooklyn
This is a residential street, yet multiple large trucks with 16-18+ wheels travel along here. This street has a short span from Atlantic Avenue to Jamaica Avenue but does not have any businesses l, as it's all zoned residential, to warrant these trucks coming through. Damage to our streets has occurred. Noticed to be all Hispanic drivers. These trucks are very long and block the intersections, as the traffic signals don't align with these cehiclesnwhile crossing the two way streets of Atlantic Ave and Fulton Street. Fulton Street is much narrower than Atlantic Avenue. These large trucks often interfere with the trucks from the shipping company Embarquee AA on Fulton Street and it becomes an unsafe crazy mess for pedestrians, students (school a block away on Ridgrwood and Nichols), seniors and other people. Why are trucks of this size allowed on the residential streets of Nichols Avenue.

Caton Ave - Stratford Rd - Westminster Rd
SO MANY ILLEGAL 53' TRAILORS!!! Residents of this area NEED DOT to *automatically* levy huge fines for overly long trucks especially on such small neighborhood streets like Caton Ave where they block entire crosswalks at intersections when they're stopped or turning!

Caton Ave - East 10 St - Parade Grounds Greenway
Bicyclists don't have space to safely bike on Caton.... the lane to the west of Coney Island Avenue dumps them into nothing infrastructure and many continue on this section ending up in conflicts with trucks

Caton Ave - Coney Island Ave - East 10 St
Caton Ave is a very narrow street (which just doesn't really fit trucks generally) and trucks regularly turn onto / off it onto Coney Island Ave. Unfortunately, since the intersection is very tight, trucks tend to turn only after the light has turned red or before the light turns green on the LPI. It's very dangerous to walk and bike around here!!

Residential street with broken street lights. Trucks should not be using this route - it's too densely packed with children and pets, and DOT is not sufficiently maintaining lighting.

I thought commercial vehicles were not allowed on Ocean Parkway but I see large trucks there frequently.

I have seen multiple--as in many--53 foot trucks trying to make the right turn from Beverly onto E. 3rd. They damage cars and get stuck. Why are they even on Beverley?
