Doesn't the term "Expressway" mean that it moves at 50 mph to 65 mph? I'm confused.

It's funny how a certain group of people are seizing on this particularly insignificant event to try and prove some "moral decline" point.

When the fire at Fox causes significant damage, to wit, $500,000 and the suspect is released without bail it raises some serious issues (link).

It's insane what was intentionally done to the BQE. I take the belt for everything now or come up and over the city using the GW and Triboro. Thankfully my tolls are reimbursed so I don't care but I can't imagine having to pay all those tolls because of a purposefully-created traffic nightmare.

They did this because they failed to get permission to toll the east river bridges. No more money for us? Well take this serfs!

That 110%!!!! The traffic was created. Lane eliminations, “open street seating”, bike lanes (more lane elimination. But then they say the traffic is terrible and we need more tolls to encourage subway ridership.
And enjoy a stabbing along the way! Don’t mind the maggots
