also, at the end of Snake Road, on the airport side, you are at the beginning of a long stretch of Rockaway Blvd, i believe it was a 2 mile stretch of 3 lanes. A stoplight was recently put in because some JFK-related business was built on the side of th road, but also because people would drag race and eventually cause accidents.
Yes! I've been traveling Brookville a lot recently because two of my best friends moved to East Atlantic Beach. That stretch of road is one of the worst I've ever driven. So uneven. It's like constant whiplash. There is not one smooth surface. And my car is low, so I feel everything. I always feel like I leave pieces of my car all over the road! I swear, one day I'm going to lose a wheel.

And pretty much any area of the Belt or the Interboro/Jackie Robinson Parkways are horrendous as well. Those roads were not built for speed.
