This traffic light (Albany and Clinton aves.) should either have a green right turn arrow that works in tandem with the green left turn arrow on Clinton. Or, allow "right on red" from Albany ave onto Clinton ave. I have spoke to a couple of different cops in the city and was told it is to allow seniors to cross street to the Acadamy Green. This makes absolutely NO sense, since the traffic turning left from Clinton (with a green arrow) prevents it. By putting a right turn green arrow on Albany ave it would prevent the traffic back up to chandler drive.

Even when the pedestrian walk light is on, right turn on read is kind of permitted... when pedestrians are not present, but that's really loosey goosey...
You want to give this input to the Complete Streets Advisory Committee...

i agree with the no right turn there. people need to slow down in general. why do you think the number of accidents are up? because people are stupid and irresponsible. but, then again, you cant teach stupid!
my suggestion is to install "trip sensors." this would cause traffic to flow more efficiently. not only at this intersection, but washington/hurley/schwenk drive and east chester/flatbush. i mean, really bro? do we really need to sit and wait 4 minutes for a light to change when no one is around?

This intersection is part of the traffic study to revamp I-587/Albany Ave/Broadway intersection. So anything really significant will probably have to wait for that to be funded and implemented - which will probably be a few more years.
Check out the planning study - and push for implementation:
