belt parkway.. ugh...
 
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.

Which parkway? The Northeast covers quite a bit of ground. :)

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.

the 8 really sucks with stop and go traffic... wish i owned a more gas efficient 2nd car like a prius to deal with sucky mileage problems.

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.
