Posted by BrooklynBus on Fri Sep 2 23:58:35 2016, in response to Re: Fighting the DOT S(BS) on Woodhaven Blvd, posted by terRAPIN station on Thu Sep 1 13:31:20 2016. No the road does not go straight ahead. It is a ramp that goes up and turns left so if you never traveled that way before, you have no idea where that road leads. It could very well be the entrance to the Marine Terminal.As for the BQE sign, it is merely a small directional sign telling you to bear right if you want the BQE with no indication that you are about to approach the entrance to the BQE. It could be a mile away. After you make the turn, the left part of the road leads to the BQE with no indication where the right half of the road goes. Worse yet, the following BQE sign letting you know the ramp on the left leads to the BQE is on the opposite side of the roadway on the right and is non reflective and posted in a dark location not near a street lamp making it completely invisible at night. It is a very dangerous and confusing point that needs immediate correction. I have been traveling this way for nine years and it has been this way. I was very confused on my first trip. To think DOT has no staff that routinely travels the roads to spot this type of problem which they should have found in nine years, is unthinkable and that they only rely on complaints. I have never reported this because I have no faith they would correct it because they once stopped me in the street and gave me a survey to fill out. After I completed it, I listed about a dozen dangerous conditions on the reverse side and none were ever corrected. Another time I sent them a letter telling them they needed to repaint some lines where dual left turn lanes led into a sinlgle lane. I had to send the same letter three times until they understood the problem, then wait three years from 2003 to 2006 for them to finally correct the problem. Now the lines need to be repainted again, and of course they are not doing it. |
