Caldwell Avenue was a two-way street, so it is wide enough to have two rows of cars: the main row for those turning right, and a secondary row for those turning left. Removing two parking spots at the end of the Avenue would encourage drivers to leave more maneuverable space for those turning left.
When cars merge into LIE service road from 58 Avenue, drivers look left at approaching cars. If service road cars are held up at the 69 Street traffic light, drivers would speed on the service road ignoring the stop sign and possible pedestrians crossing from drivers’ right.
Traffic volume is high during rush hour. Adding a second traffic light and making feeder roads one-way help, but those improvements beget other problems.

Residents witness accidents with regular frequency. Perhaps a speeding camera or longer signal timer?

Residents had police patrols, requested speed bumps… Some proposed reversing the one-way direction, … Read more
The more effective method not to block the box is for Department of Transportation to paint a white box on Myrtle Avenue allowing distance for cars to exit and enter 89 Street. It was painted before until the road was milled two years ago. When exiting 89 Street, residents sometimes need to wait up to … Read more
