Holy shit. I've spent days of my life, I think, stuck in traffic in those spots (cumulatively).
 
That traffic had to move to somewhere. What are the spots that are now clogged which were previously passable? (I'm thinking mostly of commercial traffic....trucks double parked while unloading and such.)

I suspect most of the traffic doesn't actually move anywhere. Canal street is the entrance to the Manhattan Bridge. I suppose it's possible that people who really need to get to Brooklyn could take the Triboro but that's pretty fucking far out of the way. I think people are just realizing that they don't actually need to drive into Manhattan as much.

And in my ample (though not recent) experience at that location, commercial trucks are a tiny % of the traffic there.
