I left my house with my girl at 10:30am and we went to pick up 2 of her coworker. I got to the bridge around 11am.there is no rules after 11am but either way i had 3 ppl with me.
traffic was good, I know all the shorcut around here.

5am to 11am there is traffic because of the checkpoints and if u get to the bridge around 12pm, forget about it bumper to bumper for miles.
the best time is b there around 11am and thats what i did.
here are some pics once i got to the city.
btw i saw mad ppl walking the bridge and is freaking cold brrrrrrrrr and i saw 2 ford yellow cabs broken down holding traffic and the only yellow cheese bus was broke down also. coming back to queens was quick.
here is a link to watch the traffic cameras all around nyc. i work at 5th ave and 49st. 5th and madison street 49-50st are close.
