Long Distance to Cross

10/25/2018 - 12:03

This is a dangerous crossing for students of the Baccalaureate School for Global Education. The closest subway entrance for students Queensbound students is across Northern eastward (of the two entrances) and they don't bother to go all the way to the only crosswalk west of the intersection. Additionally, because this is a 45 degree intersection, cars go too fast on and off Northern Blvd to and from 38th Ave. This is a place where a traffic island and a crosswalk should be added to the east side of the intersection across Northern blvd.

Difficult Turn/Crossing

10/25/2018 - 11:47

This turn from Northern to 37th Ave. (and others like it with a 45 degree entrance) are very dangerous as cars are able to go too fast while making the turn off Northern Blvd. The access to 37th Ave should become a 90 degree angle to slow cars down and remind them that it is also a crosswalk.

Aggressive Drivers

Traffic Enforcement Officers in an effort to move traffic along have drivers proceed through the red lights every day and drivers are habituated to this, honking at cars in front of them at the red light when there are no officers present. Cars routinely go through the red light on their frantic rush to get to Manhattan and I observe it every day. This is one of the most dangerous intersections to cross as a pedestrian on all of Northern Blvd.

Blocking the Box

10/25/2018 - 10:40

Cars in all directions routinely block the box here, slowing traffic and making it dangerous for pedestrians. I'd like to see the city paint a "do not block the grid box" and ticket people for blocking the grid here.

Blocking the Box

Cars on Northern routinely block the box making it extremely dangerous for pedestrians as vehicles end up running the light. I'd like to see the city paint a "do not block the grid box" and ticket people for blocking the grid here.

Blocking the Box

Cars on Northern routinely block the box making it dangerous for pedestrians and often impossible for cars on 40th Road to make it through. I'd like to see the city paint a "do not block the grid box" and ticket people for blocking the grid here.

Red Light Running

10/25/2018 - 10:32

Cars run the light here all the time. Pedestrians and bikers have been hit here. I cross it twice daily by bike for my commute and witness cars run it every day. I'd like to see: A camera installed here to catch/ticket people running the light and have officers placed here routinely to ticket people. Instruct traffic officers to NEVER flag drivers through the red light even if it means slowing traffic a little (50% of the time they flag drivers into pedestrians because there are too many places they need to look and they just don't see them. Also it trains drivers to run the light). When new traffic officers are trained at this intersection instruct them to give priority to pedestrian safety rather than traffic flow and again teach them to NEVER flag drivers through a red light here (training days are particularly dangerous at this intersection). Add a pedestrian crossing (white lines) to the corner going from the clocktower building to the other side of Northern so that the intersection has two clear places to cross Northern and so pedestrians are less likely to be hit by the traffic making the left-hand turn from Northern onto 41st Ave towards Queens Plaza North. Add bigger, brighter traffic lights that can be seen earlier.

Bus Blocked From Curb

This bus lane is chronically blocked at least three to four days a week with cars making it difficult to take bus.

Dangerous Left Turn

10/19/2018 - 23:26

This is nearly at the top of a hill. There are turn lanes, but the LPI is confusing and many pedestrians don't wait for a walk sign. Drivers have a turn light, which pedestrians don't know about, and when they come at high speeds, it will cause a crash with a pedestrian.

Speeding

10/19/2018 - 23:24

Vehicles, including oversized trucks go speeds about 35 at all hours as they head to GCP. This must be calmed.
