i've lived in the entire nyc area my whole life. this is what they've done the past 10-15 years to make traffic much worse.  take for example this big avenues: 5th avenue, broadway, etc. these used to be 5 (yes five) lanes across one way. now they're only 2 for regular car traffic, 1 bus lane, and 2 bike lanes. then the politicians see people are complaining about the traffic so they make a toll to enter manhattan. problem, reaction, solution.
