\n New York City\u2019s traffic may feel as slow as ever \u2014 but streets are actually still seeing less driving than before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the latest data.<\/p>\n

NYC car mileage remains well below February levels in all five boroughs, according to the data firm INRIX.<\/p>\n

Manhattan has seen the steepest drop-off compared to 2019, at less than half pre-pandemic levels during the week of Aug. 22 to 28.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, meanwhile, saw around 70 percent pre-COVID driving rates during the same week. Staten Island\u2019s rates hovered around 80 percent.<\/p>\n

Cars are also moving from 10 to 16 percent faster compared to 2019, according to the firm\u2019s analysis. Bottlenecks persist at busy highway locations, but at significantly less intensity.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a typical driver, they\u2019re still seeing congestion \u2014 much more than they saw two or three months ago, but not as much as last year,\u201d said INRIX transportation analyst Bob Pishue.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of right now, drivers are enjoying a much less congested New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drivers are also benefiting from changing rush hour patterns, as many New Yorkers continue to work from home.<\/p>\n

Whereas New York previously had morning and evening rush hours, traffic in the COVID-19 era slowly picks up pace as the day progresses, Pishue said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe data is suggesting that as traffic levels recover they are likely more spread out than in a typical pre-COVID day,\u201d said Sumeet Kishnani of the engineering firm Stantec.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people are working remotely, and those who are travel<\/a>ing may have more flexibility in their day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kishnani said those trends are likely to continue in the near-term, even as most New Yorkers continue to avoid mass transit.<\/p>\n

Still, New York transportation advocates worry the city is unprepared for employers to start bringing office workers back.<\/p>\n

\u201cCar-mageddon is not happ<\/a>ening yet because none of the major employers are really requiring people to be back in the office right now,\u201d Tri-State Transportation Campaign director Nick Sifuentes warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven a fraction of people deciding not to take transit when our offices come back will gridlock out streets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Pishue agreed the situation could take a very quick turn for the worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach car that\u2019s added on the road has a much bigger impact than the car before it. It can catch up rapidly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf one car is on a roadway and you add another, not a big deal. If there are a thousand cars on a roadway and you add one more, that\u2019s a much bigger deal.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
