NYC Mayor policies blamed for Terrible Traffic. VOL bike lane hell

I have yet to go to a big city that had "good" traffic. I've been stuck on the 405 in LA before for what felt like an hour, same with the 202 in Phx.
 
If I ever moved back to the tri state area I'm staying in Bergen County in NJ without a doubt.

Houston traffic is terrible too but not as bad as LA and Atlanta currently and NY traffic is fine you got so many other options if things clog up. Just don't get stuck midtown at the wrong time like rush hour

The quality of life is only getting worse and the cost of living in nyc will continue to rise. If you dont like the "new" New York then either adapt or ****. NYC doesn't need or care about you.

it'll reverse once da fly over States get their mojo back people will stop piling in NYC.
 
Good for de Blasio. Cars have no place in any city, let alone a city like New York.
 
What is the benefit of covertly ridding nyc of cars? That article read like lightweight conspiracy theory.

Ive driven around manhattan during rush hour and it wasnt that bad, i expected worse. Parking was much more of a hassle than actually driving.

Since there's no more real estate, every inch counts.

Maybe it's a way to acquire more real estate.

u must've never been to 6th ave or 2nd ave on Rush hour...

that buslane only X protected bike lane squeeze :x
 
not really, i drive everyday, its waaay faster to get to places by car... problem is da parking restrictions that make taking your car anywhere in midtown punitive.

what Deblasio is doing Basically destroying street flow by blocking off entire lanes for protected bike lane NO ONE USES in large numbers vs streets..creates bottle necks & major gridlock

its a liberal wet dream for people to get rid of their cars, i went to 5th ave downtown driving, and this rooster sucking Mayor got people designing streets that have buffer zones that eliminate entire lanes for no other reason than to "calm traffic" which is code word for bringing things to a snarl.
There is a difference between encouraging pedestrian/public transport, and forcing people to get rid of their cars. Everything is not black and white. NY has among the highest rate of individuals who bike in the nation.

Deblasio has been quoted many times his goal is is for getting people outta cars and using mass transit.

Making da street miserable is a passive aggressive way he's trying to do that.
 
Mass transit = more annoying ***, slow *** people fighting for space in the smelly sardine cans that move at 5mph and frequently get stuck in between stations due to mysterious train traffic ahead even tho there hasn't been a train in the last 10 mjnutes. I don't like the idea.

This. Old *** subway system can't handle more bodies and these useless bus drivers that run on their own schedule will continue to be useless with or without traffic.
 
Transit systems have gotten worse...Bart is trash and they get more and more money every year. Subway on the weekend psshhhh
 
ninjahood ninjahood can you explain the strert parking situation in the city to me? When I drive down from CT for a knicks game, I always park in a meyers garage as I get it for 19 dollars. I am afraid to park on the streets as I have a feeling I will be towed with out of state plates. What signs should I look for to determine if a spot is ok to park in. Also, what do the "no standing" signs mean?

parking between 7am-6pm weekdays in midtown is reserved for commerical parking only... they'll give u a nice ticket if u so as much as chill in da spot.
