MAILBAG

Pricey Gridlock Sam,

The site visitors sign at Park St. and Broadway in Brooklyn is lacking! Automobiles are pulling as much as the stable white line and passing the sign, not understanding when it modifications.

I’ve alerted NYCDOT, however what’s the appropriate approach for a driver to reply on this scenario?

Pricey T,

Sounds harmful particularly at a jogged intersection like this, and beneath the El in addition. If DOT hasn’t mounted it by now write again; for a major problem like this, their contractors are required to reply inside two hours of notification.

If you end up at a malfunctioning gentle [or in this case missing signals], beneath state legislation you could deal with it like a cease signal. From there, proceed in line with the principles of right-of-way except in any other case directed by police.
