On my way to and from Trader Joe’s this afternoon between 3:30 and 4 PM, the first Friday of NYC Congestion Relief Zone Pricing traffic in the area of Second, First and York Avenues at 60th street seemed alot less than usual.

Here’s the aerial view of traffic from the Roosevelt Island Tram

and street level.
