Greenpoint (11222)
Greenpoint sits at the northern tip of Brooklyn, along the East River and just north of Williamsburg. The neighborhood mixes older industrial blocks and warehouse conversions with tree-lined side streets, pre-war apartment buildings, and long commercial stretches on Manhattan Avenue and Greenpoint Avenue. Traffic is shaped by local shoppers, delivery trucks, rideshare vehicles, and commuters using McGuinness Boulevard and nearby access routes toward the BQE and Queens.
Intersections controlled by signals and all-way stop signs are frequent, especially around school zones, bike routes, and approaches to the Pulaski Bridge and waterfront parks. These areas are common spots for enforcement of speed limits, red lights, and failure-to-yield rules that protect pedestrians and cyclists.
