This one is on the off-ramp

Monday, January 28, 2008, about 1:30 p.m. This accident is on the off-ramp. These accidents are less frequent than the others, but they do occur, apparently because the off-ramp, like the on-ramp, has an improper design. Where the on-ramp lacks a provision for acceleration (a deadly fault), the off-ramp lacks proper deceleration. Maybe in the time of Robert Moses this was considered acceptable, given the relatively sparse traffic at the time. But this is 2008, Mr. Governor ! Poor old Bob Moses is long dead, as is, or should be, his careless attitude toward safety engineering.

How long, O Lord !

The New York City Police Department promised to have information about my FOIL request by January 5. January 5 has come and gone !

When Will They Ever Learn ....

to eliminate this death trap ? Friday, January 18, 2008, 10:15 p.m., same spot, on-ramp, BQE west-bound, Congress Street, Brooklyn.

Major Accident -- Tues.,Jan. 8, 2008

Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2008, 4 p.m. Judging by the number and type of emergency vehicles, this is a major accident, at the on-ramp, same old place.
