No circumstances were perfectly normal when I got on at the second entrance. After or just before Queens Blvd the sign said BQE closes at 1 AM between Tillary and Atlantic Avenue. I checked my clock and it was 12:10. Travel time to Tillary is about 8 minutes without traffic and there was none. Therefore I had 50 minutes to cover what should take eight minutes. So there was no reason to get off. The next exit was before the Koskiuzko. Still no reason to get off. Traffic is moving well. Next exit is Morgan. Still no reason to get off and should be only five more minutes to Tillary. Then comes the sign that the BQE is closed at midnight not 1 AM.

Then the usual 20 minute wait to get off at Metropolitan. And just before the Williamsburg Bridge traffic comes to a near stop. So was I supposed to get off and go over the Bridge into Manhattan to take one of the other bridges back?

Next exit is Wythe where I waited 30 minutes to get off. All three lanes were packed solid fir the final exit at Tillary. Maybe a wait of an hour or more. Who knows if a one lane exit was 20 minutes, how long for a mile of standing still cars to merge into one lane and get off?
