anyone here hate driving on this POS parkway? There is always traffic here! even when there aren't any accidents. I understand congestion is one thing that usually slows everyone down, but not to a standstill.
Oh yeah, the freakin potholes too.
Not much you can do around the city, there's traffic everywhere. Only time there isnt is around midnight or so.

My father lives in Brooklyn so I have been on that road many times. If you hate that road try taking Bay parkway to Ave J. One Sunday I went to Brooklyn and they closed the lower deck of the Verrazano for a bicycle parade, boy that was a fun hour sitting on the belt parkway :(

The Belt usually is screwed up, dont let it rain then the left and right lane usually have a lot of standing water and everyone slows and travels in funeral procession mode.

Forget about the fuel mileage... Everytime I hit a crack or pothole on the BQE I cringe and almost tear! I'd rather be driving a Dodge 1500 pick-up truck with Rancho suspension and lift kit so I could see over all the other SUV and fly over everything!
Traffic sucks in NYC but we need to have a meet so we can all bitch and complain about it together - kinda like a support group! LOL.
