Drivers at a busy Brooklyn intersection are dealing with a new traffic pattern because of the ongoing Atlantic Yards project.
Vehicles going north on Fourth Avenue can no longer turn left on Flatbush.
The idea was to reduce traffic tie-ups, but residents said Monday that it's making the problem worse.
"I would say the whole situation we have going on with the new sports stadium and the rerouting of the traffic and everything is a whole mess. It's terrible,” said one resident. “I'm a native of Flatbush, Brooklyn, and I hate it. I hate the whole Atlantic Yards project, it’s just a travesty."
"It was really bad, it took me almost two hours to get here. It’s really bad. So hopefully it gets better,” said another.
Another change: Pacific Street between Fourth Avenue and Flatbush Avenue went from one-way westbound to one-way eastbound.
