At the intersection of queens blvd, Yellowstone, and Jewel (north side of queens blvd), pedestrians are consistently given the “Walk” sign at the crosswalk while traffic is still coming. The reason seems to be that for cars on eastbound Queens Blvd approaching Yellowstone, making a left turn on Jewel takes so long to make that they can actually make their light on QB, but not pass through the crosswalk on the north side of QB until pedestrians already have the right of way. As a result, pedestrians are given the “Walk” sign when it is not yet safe to walk (often through no fault of the driver), and run the risk of getting hit.
There is a lot of weaving vehicles due to people double park on sundays.
There needs to be a crosswalk WITH SIGNAL going from Yellowstone to Jewel/Queens Blvd corner here. As you can see on the Google Streetview, someone is crossing here, as people need to do all the time. It is VERY DANGEROUS
Cars speed WAY TOO FAST towards this corner and stop past the stop sign/too close to crossing pedestrians. The crosswalk markings are barely visible any more. Between cars who exited the Grand Ventral & Van Wyck and cars who are trying to get back to Queens Blvd because they are stupidly not able to turn on Yellowstone anymore, this street sees way too much traffic and people driving too fast.
This intersection is a disaster. Banning left turns one way on Yellowstone didn't fix anything! Cars still make the left because the signage is poor. There is a problem with traffic in both directions of Yellowstone trying to make turns. Clearly there is a need for a series of signals in both directions which would allow for cars to make turns both ways on Queens Blvd while allow pedestrians to cross & cars to pass. FIX THIS PROBLEM INTERSECTION!
As is the case with many left turns on Queens Blvd in this area, the Left Turn lane here is not big enough and a few cars waiting to turn can back up into traffic and traffic back up for blocks. Exacerbating the problem here are pedestrians who ignore crossing signals.
As is the case with many left turns on Queens Blvd in this area, the Left Turn lane here is not big enough and a few cars waiting to turn can back up into traffic. Also, the left turn signal is not long enough, There is barely enough time for 3 cars to turn during one cycle.
Drivers often ignore the "yield to pedestrians" sign on this fork/triangle
This intersection needs a stop sign on 102nd St. Cars traveling on 67th Ave have a stop sign but it is hard to see cars traveling towards the intersection on 102 St when you stop on 67th Ave because 102 St is curved. Also, this is a busy pedestrian intersection with numerous schools and a hospital near by. Lots of people are walking to/from Queens Blvd subway station.
Please continue this bike lane to Union Turnpike. This is important trunk line for east/west bike travel in Queens.
