New York City streets are crowded.
Try pushing a baby carriage down the sidewalk and see if people don't stare at you in disdain for using a few more feet in exchange for propagating the species. And never mind trying to get a baby carriage down the subway steps. (Not that we would ever, you know, have babies.)
And that's just the sidewalk. Imagine the same concept blown up to mass transit level, including all vehicles, pedestrians, busses, and cyclists.
Now you're envisioning a more complete view of what's all clogging the way. Now you're thinking like a traffic expert.
Because NYC's so notoriously clogged, GOOD produced a short video on what we're doing to ease the traffic at one of the NYC's most congestion-plagued intersections: Fordham Road and Webster Avenue in the Bronx.

Take a look at the video below outlying what some city officials are doing to ease the pain.
