It really wasn’t bad before the pandemic when they enforced the lights. You just had to wait for the signal.

Now it’s even difficult to cross in a car because the lights around rush hours are absolutely meaningless. They’ll honk at you for trying to cross when you’ve got the light. There’s times where not a single vehicle can cross during a green light.

The removal of the barrier between the lanes also made it worse IMHO. Hopefully post construction that comes back.

I don’t understand why they don’t have traffic cops directing traffic the way they do by the Holland tunnel entrance on the NYC side.

They only have those cops during certain hours. When the cops vanish all hell breaks loose and Canal & Hudson is simply grid lock.

Not sure what your point is but I’ll still take that over zero traffic direction on this side of the tunnel?

They also have cops/pedestrian minders around the busy parts of Hoboken during density hours. I'm still perplexed why JC isn't doing this at the trouble spots daily.

I might believe the complete lie that JCPD is understaffed if I literally ever saw them doing anything besides sitting in a squad car or "monitoring" a hole in the ground while they stare at their phones.
