Whats the deal with New York City?

4.) Who says you can't park in NYC? I'm not going to give away all my spots, (because lately Woodlawn's been getting crowded, you guys found out about that eh?) But here's one: on I-87 North of NYC there's a small rest area. Nobody uses it because there's about a dozen ways to beat the toll with a car(other routes), locals don't use that road and most trucks go to NJ. So that stretch of I-87 is often about as empty as it gets in NY.

True to some degree, but it does get pretty swelled up around noon everyday.

 

Huh, never been on that stretch of 87 between 95 and 287.

 

It's a nice drive. Country. Except they have 2 spots now with road construction.
You don't wanna be in the right lane. Say's you're not SUPPOSED to change lanes so I just remembered it after fighting the shoulder my 1st time through and always made sure I was in the middle lane thereafter.

There is a diner on 84E on the right side of the highway.

Had a screw up yesterday. Dunno if I'm gonna catch any flak for this or not;
Was going down 476S toward Philly and I needed to get off 276E and somehow got off 276W (idiot) and had to turn around. Well, I had to pay toll when I got off at the "Norristown" Exit and then turned around, and had to hit toll again.
Proceeded down 276E and had to pay toll when I got off there too. lol

I'm hoping the company will forgive my 1st screw up

 

Oh yeah, I forgot they're building that new "mixed use" development on the east hill of that valley. Yeah that's gonna be a beast for traffic in the future. But for right now, 60% of the traffic gets off at the Cross County Parkway (truck can't take it) and another quarter get off on Central Ave. So it goes from jam-packed (and gridlocked?) to pretty much empty in about 2 miles. And by comparison, NOBODY goes north of the tolls. Maybe 6 cars out of 100. And of THAT? I'm amazed that service plaza has enough buisness to keep the lights on.

NB only BTW.
