how is traffic in New York?

[mson]

I only drive on the weekends and it's decent for the most part even in Manhattan. But on the weekdays I absolutely refuse to drive, it's just isnt worth the pain and hassle. I go to la a lot and I feel like their traffic isn't even that bad because it's more sprawling and people drive to different parts, plus no bridges and tunnels to deal with. In nyc everyone is going to manhattan. Going crosstown is the most ridiculous shyt ever. I think la can feel worse just because of the distance travel whereas in nyc the distance is shorter but the traffic more congested in a smaller area.

Why do you go to LA a lot?

New Yorkers think the horn is the gas pedal.

it sounds like yall cant drive. i drive everyday in nyc. the only time there is traffic is in the morning and around 5-7. after that the roads are clear.
anyone driving midtown around this time has to know its traffic, thanksgiving and christmas holidays are the busiest you will see in any city. its a surge of tourism and street closures around fifth avenue, 34th, 42st, because of tourist, shopping and the tree by rockafella. ive drove in DC,ATL, and LA. and those places are the worst ive ever seen as far as traffic.

Besides rush hour it’s decent. I just hate that most of our highways are like 3 lanes so congestion can happen at any given time . Something like A bullshyt fender bender can backup traffic at 2 am

Parking is by FAR the worst part about driving in NYC

It’s the only American city where people honk the horn like they are in a third world country. Any where else in the US and it would be a sign of disrespect. In NY, it’s just another mode of communication.

I hate to give props like this cause I’m from ATL and now I live in DC, but NYC is America’s greatest city. The vibe is just different from anywhere else in the U.S.

lots of Caribbean cats in NyC they Jamaican and Haitian dollar candy drivers be driving like they back home lmao. Much faster than the b41 and b46 bus lol

If you can drive in New York you can drive anywhere. My family just gives me the keys whenever we go up for a day trip.
