This is an incredibly dangerous intersection for pedestrians, sight lines are bad, cars routinely race the red, I cross here with my kids multiple times a week and it feels like we’re taking our lives in our hands every time
The bike lane going northbound on Bedford suddenly switches from the right side of the road to the left after Dean St. If you arrive to the intersection while the light is green drivers block your access to continuing in the bike lane and you're left in the middle of 4 lanes of traffic. It feels dangerous
Nightmare to ride into Prospect Park from the Ocean Avenue bike lane; poor signal timing and no clear path for cyclists to follow. The bike box is often blocked by drivers (even in the street view a black SUV is fully in front of the white car line, blocking access to the bike box from the right side)
The B48 bus line is incredibly unreliable. I have had to wait 50+ minutes for a bus sometimes. In winter the snow piles are huge and you cannot reach the bus because they create a barricade. When I check the transit apps to wait for the bus sometimes it'll say coming in 8 minutes to next disappear and say 30+ minutes for me to walk away and it actually show up 2 minutes later and I miss it. If the bus is going to be late it needs to at least provide reliable data on when it will arrive, or, if the data isn't correct, it needs to at least come every 10~ minutes so I know I never have to wait too long. It can't have both unreliable data and inconsistent timing. I have reached a point where unless I have an extra hour to accommodate taking the bus I either have to plan to walk or I need to uber. it's as if the bus isn't even an option it operates so poorly.
Buses often get stuck right before crossing Eastern Parkway and have to deal with aggressive dollar van drivers taking up space at the bus stop on the other side of the big thoroughfare, closer to the subway entrance. The section of Utica Ave from Fulton St to Empire Blvd has to be the busiest for the B46/B46-SBS. It helps there's a bus lane in some sections, but more needs to be done to prevent private vehicles and dollar vans from blocking the lane.
Tractor Trailer trucks double park here
B41 gets stuck in traffic when cars try to merge into the right-turn lane towards Parkside Ave. This creates a section of road where the bus conflicts with cars trying to pass it.
B41 constantly stuck behind Dollar Vans stopping/waiting at this bus stop.
The parkside/flatbush Ave intersection is a mess for pedestrians. The paint is gone, ramps are old, cars park in the crosswalk, constant congestion. Cars making left turns do not yield to pedestrians.
Constant double and triple parking in front of Peppas Chicken Shop. The bus is consistently blocked or slowed down here. Zero enforcement by NYPD.
