New DOT signs on Brighton Beach Avenue

Finally, DOT put up three traffic signs on Brighton Beach Avenue at the entrance to the Oceana Apartments -- two for east/west bound cards entering the driveway to yield to pedestrians and another stating that cars exiting the driveway can only make right turns.

Accolades to whoever it was who proposed these signs.  I'm not sure that they will work, particularly because the signs that say yield to pedestrians were installed against the angle of the sidewalk, making it difficult for drivers to see them..

But maybe I can stop yelling like a crazy person at drivers pulling in and out of the driveway.  It really befuddles me why on earth the DOT/city and brainless architect thought that putting the entrance on the curve of the street was a brilliant move, on top of the fact that Brighton Beach Avenue is always congested.  The main entrance should have been on Coney Island Avenue.
