Dangerous Merge

Often have to break suddenly here because Northern Blvd WB narrows from three moving lanes to two.

Double Parking

Very big problems with double-parking on this block. Please replace parking with standing zones.

Double Parking

The blocks between 83rd and 85th Streets experience a lot of double-parking, especially near Pio Pio to Go. Parking should be removed and replaced with standing zones.

Conflicting Turns

10/12/2018 - 23:45

Cars coming from Newtown are speeding and near miss with those coming from Woodside. It is not safe for pedestrians or cyclists. Where Woodside meets Northern on the south side, there is a split road, with 2 lanes and a shorter crossing. This is still too confusing to pedestrians. There is a lot of foot traffic there for the shopping center.

Difficult Turn/Crossing

10/12/2018 - 23:42

This is a very wide crossing and must be given some form of road diet. Speed cameras and red light cameras are needed as drivers heading east are gearing up for GCP. Folks can't cross in time, and there are a number of seniors and kids attending programs at Elmcor

Bike Lane Requested

10/12/2018 - 23:39

Broadway has space allocated for a bike lane from previous projects. This bike lane must be incorporated into the Northern project. The bike lane should continue south all the way to Queens Boulevard. It is a very popular biking route. It will be more popular when the high school is built at the corner of Northern and Broadway.

Difficult Turn/Crossing

10/12/2018 - 09:00

Possibly one of the worst of all intersections on Northern. Cars make left turns from the right hand lane. Broadway turn time onto Northern is not long enough. The intersection is a confusing patchwork and always has large volumes of pedestrians crossing. Overhead bridges would be nice (for people to cross) or an underground crosswalk. A variety of new signs, special turn lanes, islands, and lights must be installed here, one of the major choke points on Northern.

Dangerous Left Turn

This is one of several incredibly dangerous intersections on Northern. There are 3 (!) schools on this block, which is filled with trucks, buses, and cars, all trying to outdo the other. Left turns should be completely eliminated in this area, at least during school hours or weekdays. Needs islands, traffic bumps, longer pedestrian walk times, clearer signage, and various other traffic calming measures.

They improved the signage slightly, but I live just off 82nd and Northern. I regularly see cars and city buses turn left from Northern onto 82nd without waiting for the light. I have 2 small children and it is very stressful and scary. Literally last week I watched a Q32 coming on duty make an illegal left turn at that intersection.
