Thread: Roads to be careful on in Brooklyn.....

1) 26th Avenue between Stillwell Ave and Cropsey Ave (minefield status)
2) Cropsey Ave eastbound towards bay Parkway from Neptune Ave, right over the Belt Parkway (Between Bay 50th and Bay 49th) overpass on the far right lane.

3) Belt Parkway 1/2 Mile from Knapp St (Exit 9a) far right lane huge row of holes

4) Bay Parkway between 80th and 86th st going towards the larger numbers (towards the shore).......stay on the right lane.
5) Bay Parkway between 86th st and 84th street going away from the shore, entire road got unpaved by the plows
6) the entirety of 86th street under the subway lines (between Stillwell ave and 19th ave)
7) Stillwell Avenue under the subway lines (between 86th street and Bay 50th), ongoing construction plus the pulling up of the patchwork by plows makes this road absolutely undrivable.
8) Right lane after the Knapp St Exit (Exit 9A) between Ford St and Coyle St there is a MASSIVE hole on the far right lane of Shore Parkway

9) West 4th st between Ave U and Ave T entire stretch littered with holes
10) Ave W, The little bit between West 6th st and 86th st as you turn into from 86th.... 4-5 big ones on the right side.

11) Bay 49th St from Cropsey Ave to Harway Ave, minefield.
12) 65th St going from 12th Ave towards 10th Ave right lane, avoid.
13) 65th St and 18th ave intersection driving towards Bay Pkwy, drive very slowly if you have a lowered car.
14) 65th st and 20th or 19th at the intersection in the direction of the decreasing numbers there is a HUGE dip that comes back up very harshly....... drive very slowly.
15) Gowanus Expressway eastbound on the far right 2 lanes that becomes i278, random craters. mostly on the 2nd lane from the right.
16) Prospect Expressway Exit 2 (3rd Ave and 4th Ave) ramp when it merges with Prospect Ave is EXTREMELY wavy and uneven.

17) Ocean Pkwy avoid the far right lanes in either direction when possible, large areas of missing pavement around sewer grates.


**Update 2/17
18) Cropsey Ave Between Bay 43rd and Bay 44th St in the Coney Island bound direction the entire 3 lanes are close to being undrivable. its very deceiving because the streets before that area are perfect.

19) Bath Ave and 27th Ave intersection, not even sure how to describe this one....just don't drive there.

20) 27th Ave between Bath ave and Stillwell Ave/Benson Ave very heavy construction work, roads were dug up and were very quickly repaved. extremely uneven.

21) Stillwell Ave where Benson ave and Ave V meet there are very uneven road plates and then the plates themselves have 3 inch high edges. avoid.
22) Bushwick Ave and Cooper St, pothole cluster -JP10501

**Update 2/22
23)Flatbush Ave between manhattan bridge and atlantic Ave 900AERO


General Advice, Try to keep off the right lane of any of the major roadways (Belt Parkway, Ocean Parkway...) and drive in the center lane if possible.

Will keep updating this as i find them.....the hard way.

wow, thanks for the heads up. There's a nasty pothole cluster on Bushwick Ave and Cooper St that I hit today.

Hold up, is this for pot holes, or to stay safe? ahahhaha

List Updated

Sad but very true

the ultimate pot hole stretch is Flatbush Ave between manhattan bridge and atlantic Ave. This section never get fixed. It's actually more of an off-road road.
