Wow, even the Cross Bronx is seeing less traffic? That’s amazing!

I haven’t driven through there lately but will have to dig into it a bit: GPS tends to take me through the city if I travel south and I have no idea if it crosses over into the congestion pricing zone. And it’s not like I can set GPS to avoid tolls - no one has that kind of time

The west side highway and FDR are exempt from the congestion toll if ever you pass through the city heading south.
