Inner Adam Gopnik, Activate!

AAA notes the city’s worst highways: The “very worst” is the ramp from the northbound Major Deegan Expressway to the George Washington Bridge (the Daily News explains: “At the end of a steep spiral ramp where two lanes merge, trucks must cross two busy lanes in a quarter mile to reach the bridge.”); the Gowanus Expressway from the Belt Parkway to the Prospect Expressway; the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway from Hamilton Ave. to Tillary St.; and the Goethals Bridge, connecting Staten Island and New Jersey.

Sure, these highways were built for, like, Model Ts driving 35 miles an hour. So go slower! Against my better judgement, I’m exercising my Inner Adam Gopnik to say, “Deal with it.”
