I have regular plates on the vehicle. Most commercial trips have even fewer options.There are about a dozen streets that run parallel between Fulton and Empire Blvd. Your insistence on using only Eastern Pkwy or Atlantic Ave means you are in the company of out of towners. Since I get paid by mileage... In your previous post you were complaining of having to take the BQE because of the extra distance. If you're paid by the mile, take the Belt and go by way of Canarsie. 10 pedestrian deaths in 5 years doesn't sound like all that many. Two people a year? This is seriously being done for 2 people a year? There were also 15 drivers or passengers also killed during the same period. Are they collateral damage to your shaving a few minutes off your by the mile trip? I included only the loss of life collisions. Atlantic Avenue is far more dangerous, if less serious collisions are included. In February 2014, 167 collisions on Atlantic Avenue were reported by NYPD. 37 of them resulted in injuries with 59 people injured and 1 killed. I don't know, if this satisfied your liking for gore. On a practical note, that's nearly 6 collisions per day. Assume each takes about an hour to clear. This means Atlantic Avenue is backed up because of a vehicle accident 25% of the time. If you are looking for a cause for long trips on Atlantic, you need look no further than the number of vehicular accidents. |
