my live reaction to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway in new york:

"wow how did this person find a time with no traffic delays?"

"is this really how people drive in new york?"

"wow those lanes really are narrow, how is this even considered a highway?"

"that ford escape is gonna cause a fucking accident!"

"wow, think of all the buildings that used to be here before this highway was build over them..."

"this is way to much space to dedicate to a highway in an urban area"

"why are there so many schoolbuses??"

"ive never seen a "hill blocks view" sign before"

"why are the lane markers solid here? why cant you change lanes??"

"cant they choose a fucking road surface to use and stick with it?"

"45 mph speed limit enforced by radar?? thats harsh"

"ooh we're elevated"

"i feel for those people going the other direction, about to run smack into a traffic jam"

"dude, you had so much time to move into that exit lane, and then you decide to do it the moment youre not legally allowed to?? what??"

"wow theyre really keeping us waiting with the promise of 'road work: expect delays'"

"12' 4" of clearance?? brutal. jeez"

"omg its the triple cantilever!!!"

"oh my god its a suburban. wow, it can barely fit in that lane!"

"40 mph around that corner?? that f150 better slow down, my god"

"oh hey a BQE tour from the 90s?"

Under the on and off

Friday – photo by Mitch Waxman I know, I’m obsessed. To be fair, though, I’ve been showing you all pictures of highway and expressway ramps for better than a decade now. LIE, BQE, Grand Central etc., all back in NYC. I’ve got new ones to puzzle over now. Once I walked past the interchange pictured above, on a more or less eastward path, the entire streetscape suddenly altered. As mentioned…

Les lecteurs parlent des mises à niveau du BQE, des écoles à charte et de la défaite de la Russie – New York Daily News

Brooklyn : Ceci est en réponse à l’article de John Massengale, « Flux de trafic et statu quo », 15 janvier : Le trafic a toujours été difficile sur cette section du BQE parce qu’elle n’est pas assez grande. Il y a du monde la plupart du temps. Le rendre uniquement pour les camions ne résout aucun problème. Seulement 10% des véhicules sur cette section de l’autoroute sont des camions. Les camions…

Lance De Los Reyes, The Prolific NYC Graffiti Artist RAMBO, Has Died At 44

Lance De Los Reyes, the prolific NYC-based graffiti artist known as RAMBO, has died. He was 44.De Los Reyes was known for his bubble lettering street art, his signature upside-down crowns (an homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat), as well as for climbing to the top of billboards on the BQE where he scrawled poetic phrases onto unused (or semi-used) backgrounds. His mysterious, sometimes cryptic…

BQE

This is dinner. You, rosy at the end of the year in a photo I’m only seeing now and the sign on the bridge saying life is worth living. It is orange like a hazard, tired like flying east, waning like this cycle of forget. You would hack through a continent that doesn’t want you around before asking for my help. Choose more of the known because it hears you out. But no one preserves us better than the view up here. There’s a shrine you don’t deserve and everyone gets sick coming all this way in the rain to ask you to bless them. You accidentally call me by my mother’s name and we spoil your invitations meeting our need again. Where to tonight? The vinyl-sided version of scarce and too old and in love with someone else will do when the deal we made as new friends doesn’t vest. We were foolish and fast before hard got hard. Before a movement made where we were going too bright and too wrong, and took us home.
