As far as Woodhavens concerned, you are talking theoretics because in the morning there is congestion so you can't travel non-stop with the lights. In nine years of driving I only made it three times from the Belt to Queens Blvd with all the lights and that was in the shoulder periods, not in the peak. A good day was three traffic lights.Buses are actually quite fast on Woodhaven during the off-peak. Some times I have to chase a bus for a half mile in my car before I can overtake it. I really don't think it takes more than five minutes more by bus than by car without traffic. I think Woodhaven has soe of the fastest off-peak bus speeds in the city. That's why I don't see the need for exclusive lanes. |
