ASK THE DOT TO INSTALL ALL-WAY STOP SIGNS ON DORCHESTER ROAD
WHY DOES TRAFFIC SUCK ON DORCHESTER?
Dorchester Road’s unusual width encourages cars to speed and try to pass each other. Its unusual geometry means that it’s exceedingly hard for cars to see oncoming traffic.
Unenforced parking restrictions and a lack of daylighting at the curb means that cars have to roll into the intersection to see oncoming traffic, and are frequently oblivious to pedestrians.
The lack of traffic signals makes Dorchester a great shortcut through the neighborhood for trucks, buses, vans and cars – at our expense!
Despite repeated complaints and the promise of bike lanes, lane buffers and traffic studies, nothing has been done.
Recent changes to traffic flow on Cortelyou at Coney Island Ave have only led to more traffic heading down Dorchester.
We’ve seen the impact of complaining: the DOT’s recent installation of crosswalks and pedestrian refuges across Coney Island Ave are a result of your voice finally being heard!

COMPLAIN TO THE DOT!
You can use this form to quickly submit your request for a new stop sign to be installed on Dorchester Road directly to the DOT. It does exactly the same thing as using the official Contact the DOT Commissioner form, but it’s a lot simpler.

Please submit only one request per intersection, but feel free to submit a request for each intersection that you believe needs an all-way stop sign installed.
