Posted by sloth on Sun Apr 13 21:11:06 2014, in response to Re: Atlantic Avenue speed limit lower to 25 mph, posted by BrooklynBus on Sun Apr 13 18:20:53 2014. I drive a delivery route that spits me out at the end of the Interboro, or Conduit Ave, and requires me to cross all of Brooklyn westbound, sometimes on Eastern Pkwy, sometimes on Atlantic Ave.Atlantic Ave is already a bad stretch of road due to the red light cameras, heavy police presence, and shitty neighborhoods it passes thru. A speed limit of 25, if enforced, would add an unacceptable amount of time to my trip. So, Eastern Pkwy. If the same thing ends up happening there, I'll end up on the LIE to the BQE, driving many unnecessary extra miles. I agree that the speed limits are unnaturally low already-- 45 on the BQE being one ridiculous example, and 30 on major surface roads being another. Something like this will add time to every commercial trip made on Atlantic Ave. |
