Ever heard of the Gowanus Expressway?

You mean the world's largest parking lot?

The Gowanus is one of the few that I actually rarely see that congested... except where it meets the BQE.

It's gotten much better both directions after they added the split exit southbound for the Belt and finished the construction of the additional lanes northbound near the Battery Tunnel. Up until about 5-10 years ago, it was bumper to bumper at pretty much all times of the day from the Verrazano all the way to the Brooklyn bridge.

!?!? Umm get on the belt at 4th ave under the verazzano and take it to the start of the BQE…duh? Depends how north in bay ridge you start but in south bay ridge its faster to go “backwards” and get on the belt than to take the streets to the bqe ramp by the precinct

I'm just saying... The belt would take you the other way

Could've also taken the BQE without getting on the belt
