In case anyone here is planning on driving into or towards NYC at present be aware that you must have 3 occupants in your car otherwise you'll be turned back.

 

I am not sure if this was the only reason why Route 3 Eastbound was backed up way to the West of Secaucus but it probably was a significant factor. What should have been a 25 minute commute for colleagues from Montclair to Secaucus ended up being 2 hours.

 

I'd recommend people stay of the roads and work from home where they are able to until the situation stabilizes, fuel becomes more available and the traffic constraints a removed. Appreciate this may not be an option for many people.

The only way in to avoid the 3 person rule is through the GWB (Was massively backed up even before 7AM this morning). Even still - going down the Henry Hudson you get directed off of it at 125th st (Which is stupid because you can just jump right back on after going straight down 3 blocks).

 

That's the way I went to get in this morning, however, it took me 3 hours from Linden.

Or just get there before 6am, and then drive right through like any normal commuting day. Once you get past the local problems with trees blocking streets, it's a dream commute.

There was already a 30 minute backup at the Lincoln tunnel at 6AM.

Well, you want to be there *before* 6am. A 30 minute backup at the Lincoln Tunnel isn't that much worse than normal, and it can be like that even at 6am. I've done that drive for almost 20 years... Yesterday was just pretty easy for me.

Heard from friends in the city: basically, don't go unless you really, really must.

 

Bloomberg said on the radio that police recruits are directing traffic.

As suspected , now confirmed. HOV restrictions do not apply to motorcycles at bridges and tunnels.

 

Just rode in now.

Dammit - I need a motorcycle...

I may take my motorcycle.

My new NC700X had been getting 64 mpg with my need for speed throtle hand. Now with my fuel economy hand I just came in at 77.

High mpg = low rwhp

It took me 5 hours to get from the northbound turnpike toll in seacacus down to Weehawken . On a normal day it's a 4 minute ride, today - 5 hours, they are diverting everybody without 3+ more people into union city, it's an absolute nightmare.

Dang - No alternate route to take huh?
