Traffic expert “Gridlock” Sam Schwartz told Gothamist on Monday that drivers better be prepared heading into the holiday weekend as car traffic in the metropolitan area is officially back to pre-pandemic levels. What’s worse, he said, is that truck volumes were recorded at 10% higher than what they were in 2019.For those who can’t avoid traveling by car, Schwartz said New Yorkers should expect a “wild week in traffic.
He said city drivers should expect three-to-five-mile backups at the George Washington Bridge, and backups on all roads leading to airports. Wednesday remains the biggest traffic day of the year, whether you’re coming or going from NYC, he said.
