Northport's Most Dangerous Cut-Throughs?

What residential streets have become virtual busy highways for people taking shortcuts?

Some residential streets can feel like busy highways if they're frequently used as cut-throughs, and can pose a danger to unsuspecting pedestrians. In Northport, Gilbert Street has been mentioned as a short cut from Fort Salonga Road to Main Street, and in East Northport Heath Lane has been named as a popular shortcut off Pulaski to avoid the light on Larkfield. 

What do you think are some of the most highly used and least appropriate cut through streets in Northport and the surrounding area? What threats do they pose and how do you think traffic could be better managed or avoided?
