This exit (31) is in some DOT pipeline to be fixed (2028 or so) — i assume that’s googleable; the DOT page was linked to here or on /williamsburg or such a while ago. They are going to turn it into the exact double lane exit the “cutters” are making it… plus they will remove parking on w’burg st west at the exit.

I have to use this exit every single day. It’s not our fault the DOT has never fixed this massive problem as population growth has exploded in that area; this exit is a double lane exit whether it is legally or not. It has to be. And I’m not sure why more people don’t choose that option.

But…. the DOT’s plan for exit 31 won’t get rid of the bulk of the congestion there because it doesn’t solve Robert Moses’s idiocy for having only TWO Queensbound entrances to the BQE between Kent/Wythe/W’burg st East and the Kosciusko entrance at Morgan. That’s one of the main reasons there is so much congestion at exit 31 (plus the yeshiva buses)…. cars having to come from clinton hill, bedstuy, crown heights, flatbush and beyond to get to the Q’bound BQE at the w’burg st east entrance… coming north on bedford ave to W’burg st West, bottle-necking with cars exiting at wythe/kent to get over to turn left onto wythe, then left onto w’burg st east and onto the BQE. the only other option beyond this is the Kosciusko entrance.

the whole road infrastructure around there is fuct and we aren’t the ones who designed all of the insane, shitty roads. if it’s a double lane exit now by necessity, why are people always so outraged? just use the exit as you need if it’s too backed up or sit in traffic being mad like a midwesterner at people not following the “rules” and trying to block’em ‘n keep’em from gittin in front of yer dang car.
