Posted by BrooklynBus on Sun Nov 16 10:08:30 2014, in response to Re: Queens Blvd speed limit will be 25 mph by the end of this year, posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat Nov 15 23:46:11 2014. Queens Blvd was designed as a restricted access highway as many other streets in the city. That was because a limited access highway was needed and wasn't practical to build. Turning every restricted access highway into a local street would be a disaster for this city because it woud be very difficult to get anywhere. Yet the selfishness of people who are never in a car couldn't care less about everyone else.Queens Blvd has a separate main roadway for a good portion of it where a 40 mph mph is totally appropriate, not a ridiculous 25 mph. There are no parked cars and there shouldn't be any pedestrians jumping over fences to cross. With adequate timing of amber lights, there would be enough time to slow down and stop at traffic lights. Anyone who moves to Queens Blvd knows it is an arterial roadway. For them to expect to cross the street at every intersection is the same as someone buying a house by a train to expect it to be torn down or the noise eliminated because they do not like it. You don't like the noise, don't move next door to a train. You want to be able to cross at every single corner, move somewhere else, not to Queens Blvd. |
