New Bump in the Road to Calm Barclays Traffic

 Work on a second Washington Avenue speed bump between Gates and Greene Avenues began today. |
The Barclays Arena opens in two months, but the city Department of Transportation is already telling drivers to slow down.
Earlier today, the DOT constructed a second speed bump on Washington Avenue between Gates and Greene Avenues to regulate traffic patterns in the area, which are expected to change dramatically once the 18,000-seat stadium opens on Sept. 28.
“Safety is DOT’s number one priority,” a DOT spokesman wrote in an e-mail. “The agency installed a second speed hump on Washington Avenue between Gates and Greene Avenues today as part of an effort to implement additional speed humps and other traffic calming measures around the Barclays Arena prior to its opening later this year.”
