Pioneer St - Richards St - Van Brunt St
There are frequently trucks speeding down Pioneer street, DESPITE the fact that there is explicitly a "no trucks allowed" sign on Van brunt. It's a narrow street with a lot of pedestrians, bikes, and children. These trucks are a collision hazard and an environmental health concern.

Trucks and delivery vans crowd Van Brunt and make it difficult to cross the street safely.

Van Brunt St - King St - Sullivan St
Van Brunt is the only street for the entire neighborhood to shop, buy groceries, eat at a restaurant etc. It's a 20+min walk to the next commercial area on the other side of the BQE. The number of trucks and delivery vans driving down Van Brunt create huge amounts of sound and air pollution, traffic and physical risk to all pedestrians. This is even worse when a cruise ship is in port and the neighborhood is inundated with vehicles.

Van Brunt St - Visitation Pl - Pioneer St
Pioneer St has a single "No Trucks Except for local delivery" sign at the intersection with Van Brunt. One sign is clearly insufficient because multiple times a day trucks of all shapes and sizes drive down the street without making a delivery. This is a old residential block with apartments at street level.

Metropolitan Ave - Humboldt St - Bushwick Ave
Trucks speed through this increasingly dense residential area. Several high density buildings have recently been built off of Metropolitan, which will only make this worse as thousands more residents move to this neighborhood Metropolitan Av is no longer an industrial thruway- it’s a vibrant community with families and kids and the trucks maps should reflect that

Trucks constantly use this residential one way block to access Atlantic Terminal Mall loading docks. Trucks shiijd only be allowed to enter from Atlantic Avenue. The traffic and danger created to residents, children, pets and pedestrians by the trucks of all sizes (especially semi trailers using this block to gain access is surely an accident waiting to happen, as well as illegal as it is not part of the designated truck route.

Sackett St - Columbia St - Hicks St
The reduced lane on BQE has turned Columbia Street into a dead stop parking lot, with 18 wheelers honking day and night in a residential area. Truck drivers completely disregard lights, small children, pedestrians, and everyone else. It’s created an insanely dangerous situation with kids walking to school through truck clogged intersections. Clearly the DOT is valuing trucks over lives. It’s very very bad on a daily basis and peolple have been hit, cars demolished and property crushed. Transfer freight to a waterborne system and get the 18 wheelers off Columbia Street.

Union St - 8 Ave - Brooklyn
The signage saying Union is truck restricted is inadequate and has been ignored at least for the past 15 years. There should be a large electronic sign saying Vehicles over 1.5 tons must exit on 4th Ave and use Flatbush. Local deliveries excepted. In addition DOT should coordinate with the NYPD to enforce this. At first, keep an empty police car with lights flashing at 4th and Uniion until the new traffic pattern has been well established. Then move to large traditional signage. This should have been done when the regulation was put in place. No enforcement, no compliance.
