Difficult Turn/Crossing
Difficult Turn/Crossing
Livingston St - Boerum Pl - Smith St

Ever since the new bus/truck rules took effect, crossing the street is a mess. There are always cars or buses in the crosswalk because the traffic is all jammed up. It was never this bad. The traffic police at the intersection selectively enforces the rules. What a mess!!!

Bond St - Dekalb Ave - Fulton St

Buses southbound on DeKalb Ave often wait extended periods for the traffic signal to turn green to turn right onto Fulton Mall while no cross traffic is observed. This light should be smarter than just running on a timer, it needs to give buses priority and should be aware of cross traffic.

Adams St - Connector - Adams St

Buses in the Adams St southbound local lanes that need to turn left onto the Fulton Mall must slowly force their way across multiple lanes of traffic on Adams Street to get to the left turn lane. This move is dangerous and time consuming, as the buses must then wait for the left turn light at Fulton. Buses should have priority at this segment, going directly from the local lanes to a waiting green arrow onto Fulton Mall. This would save minutes for each bus each trip.

Fulton St - Hanover Pl - Flatbush Ave Extension

There isn't enough signage indicating that Fulton Mall is for buses only, so private vehicles are constantly entering the street

Private vehicles with FDNY placards constantly parked on the entirety of the sidewalk

Willoughby St - Duffield St - Gold St

There isn't supposed to be anyone parked here on either side of the street, but vehicles with placards are constantly parked there with no enforcement. Most placards belong to FDNY.

Fulton St - Elm Pl - Albee Square

Delivery vehicles are *constantly* parking on Fulton Mall, and no vehicles are ever supposed to park here. This blocks buses from moving through as they must alternate directions. Enforcement needed to prevent this from ever happening.

Fulton St - Elm Pl - Albee Square

All vehicles (except buses) are required to turn left off to Fulton Mall onto Albee Sq W, but poor/little signage doesn't make this clear enough so private vehicles constantly continue straight, clogging the bus corridor.

I was trying to cross Adams Street from the Post Office side to the corner of City Tech. Buses turning and a large number of cars trying to make the left onto adams Street made it hard for me. I went anyway. If I wait for all the vehicles to pass the light would have changed and I would have to stand until the next one. At my age,75 years old, that's not easy. The busway may benefit the bikers and bus riders but it is hell on us pedestrians.
