Manhattan traffic nightmare (yes, a worse one) starts Monday as UN General Assembly kicks off first of 2022 Gridlock Alert days
They start on Monday as the UN General Assembly opens in Manhattan -- and average traffic speeds in the borough drop to under 5 miles an hour, according to the cityNew York City officials revealed a list last week that no one likes to hear about: the annual Gridlock Alert days.
Trust us, you're better off knowing about these in advance. And there are 19 days expected to bring NYC to a standstill. The fun starts on Monday when the United Nations General Assembly starts its weeklong session and midtown Manhattan traffic moves at its slowest pace of the year. Drivers should expect extensive street closures and delays across the borough all next week, city officials warn.
Alternate modes of transportation are advised -- like walking! or mass transit or bicycling wherever you need to go. Traffic data shows average vehicle speeds in the Midtown Central Business District during UN General Assembly week drop to under 5 mph, which compares with a slightly more robust 6 to 7 mph on a usual day.
