The City of New York's Department of Transportation issued a traffic alert for this week providing the locations of road construction and events where lane and street closings will affect the flow of traffic. Lane closings may also occur due to circumstances beyond our control. Major road, lane and street closings for the coming week are as follows:
Single-lane Queens-bound south upper roadway will be closed 24/7, and double-lane will be closed Tuesday to Thursday from 9:30 am to 3 pm, and Friday from 9:30 am to 12 pm. During second lane closure, one Manhattan-bound upper roadway lane will reverse to service Queens-bound traffic. Queens-bound south outer roadway will be closed Sunday to Saturday from 1 am to 6 am. Single-lane Manhattan-bound north upper roadway will be closed Tuesday to Thursday from 8 pm to 5 am next morning. These closures are necessary to facilitate replacement of upper roadway.
Right-lane in both directions will be closed Tuesday to Friday from 7 am to 3 pm. Alternating center-lane and sidewalks will be closed Tuesday to Friday from 10 am to 2 pm. These closures are necessary to facilitate machinery repairs and will continue through January 5, 2024. At least one lane of traffic in each direction and one sidewalk will be maintained at all times.
Two lanes of traffic in both directions are shifted to the southbound lanes and structural steel repair work will continue through January 12, 2024, Monday to Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm and 9 pm to 5 am next morning.
Single-lane northbound will be closed Monday to Friday from 7 am to 9 am and single-lane in both directions will be closed from 9 am to 1 pm and 10 pm to 7 am next morning through January 12, 2024 to facilitate maintenance. One lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained at all times.
Double-lane Queens-bound will be closed Tuesday from 11 pm to 5 am next morning to facilitate maintenance. Two-way traffic will be maintained on the Brooklyn-bound lane with the assistance of flaggers.
Bridge will be reduced to single-lane with flaggers alternating the flow of traffic Monday to Friday from 9 am to 4 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 7 am to 5 pm through January 20, 2024 to facilitate lead paint removal and protective coating operation.
Single-lane northbound will be closed Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 2 pm, Monday to Thursday from 10 pm to 5 am next morning, Friday from 9 pm to Saturday 12 pm, and Saturday 8 pm to Sunday 12 pm. Single-lane southbound will be closed Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 2 pm, Monday to Thursday from 10 pm to 5 am next morning, Friday from 9 pm to Saturday 3 pm, and Saturday 8 pm to Sunday 3 pm. Double-lane northbound will be closed Monday to Friday from 12:01 am to 5 am, Saturday from 12:01 am to 6 am, and Sunday from 12:01 am to 7:30 am. Double-lane southbound will be closed Monday to Friday from 12:01 am to 6 am, Saturday from 12:01 am to 6 am, and Sunday from 12:01 am to 9 am. At least one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained at all times. These closures are necessary to facilitate reconstruction of Roosevelt Avenue Bridge and will continue through July 2, 2024.
We analyse HTTP requests and SQL queries to find and block excessive and potentially abusive traffic. We look for unreasonable usage generating so much traffic that it could potentially impact the stability of the whole multi-tenant platform. Only individual users or scripts are blocked.
We need a way to constantly collect and process the traffic of each individual user in real-time. With millions of users and several services in a distributed environment, this proved to be quite challenging. The first step is to identify which pieces of information we need and how to obtain it. At the moment we monitor
To support comprehensive telemetry collection we built thin client libraries that intercept HTTP server calls and SQL queries. Our stack choice comprises of Node.js for HTTP layer and Sequelize for data access. Intercepting HTTP requests in Express.js is relatively simple with a set of handlers. Every HTTP request passes through a special filter that collects telemetry. In case of Sequelize we use the mechanism of hooks. They are executed for each and every database query. Of course our extra instrumentation layer must be fast and resilient to minimise impact on production traffic.
At this point, we examine a set of rules that can be configured at runtime through our Developer Platform. A typical rule discovers unusual and potentially harmful spikes of traffic coming from a single user account. For example, one user scanning hundreds of millions of database records in total, over a short period. There can be many reasons for such an anomaly:
We deployed this project in several phases. During the initial step, we barely observed the traffic, looking for anomalies more or less manually. Later we codified these anomalies in the form of rules. We are really careful to avoid false positives, blocking legitimate users and traffic. So our thresholds are quite high (even for a high-traffic website like monday.com), but more importantly, we ran our rules in dry-run mode, only notifying us, but not really blocking anyone. As an interesting side effect, the presence of a ban was often correlated with system-wide outages observed by other teams. This meant that our system was actually helping to identify many symptoms of ongoing incident.
Mon, Jan 1: Traffic might be thick in the westbound direction but delays will not be significant. There will be heavy eastbound traffic from Noon-8:00 p.m. with metering at the Eisenhower Tunnel likely.
Metering - Traffic metering goes into effect during very high-volume times at the Eisenhower Johnson Tunnel on the eastbound approach. Metering controls the flow of traffic eastbound towards the Eisenhower Tunnel so traffic does not back up in the tunnel, causing potential safety issues.
With just a bit of planning, travelers can enjoy More Mountains, Less Traffic. Below is the typical winter weekend traffic pattern. The heaviest volumes on the I-70 mountain corridor occur around the holidays and on weekends in January and February, but plan for weekend traffic during the entire ski season. Check the detailed weekend Travel Forecast at the top of this page, posted each Thursday.
Sunday Eastbound - I-70 traffic starts to build as early as 11:30 a.m. The peak of the traffic occurs between 3:00-6:00 and drops off soon after 8:00 pm. Expect heavy traffic. To avoid the jam, stay in the mountains for dinner, or spend Sunday night and head back to work or school Monday morning. GoI70.com Peak time Deals provide incentives to avoid peak travel times.
People are more likely to be dozy and get up later on Monday mornings,
hence the rush hour becomes more concentrated. When I commuted to work
by car, it was amazing how much clearer the roads were during school
holidays, and also the traffic tended to be lighter on Friday
mornings, unless a Bank Holiday followed. A subject for a Ph.D. study

Without a Ph.D in it I think it might be reasonable to surmise that
since most schools take a dim view of students gong on holiday in term
time the only time parents can go away is when schools themselves are on
holiday.It doesn't take more than reduction of about 10% of traffic movement to
cause a really noticeable change in the conditions--
John WrightBlasphemy - a victimless crime.
If you want the theory, look into "queuing theory". In particular the
mathematical modelling around "service time" compared to queue length.
You will find that as the utilisation of a system gets closer to its
capacity, the same sized increase in utilisation causes a markedly
non-linear increase in queuing (or journey) time. So, when roads are 90%
an increase in traffice of 2 or 3 percent causes an increase in journey
times.
However, when roads are running at 95% capacity, the same increase
in traffic causes a much, much greater delay. A side effect is that
the time needed to clear traffic after an incident also increases
hugely when there's very little spare road capacity.--
A lot of people work away from home - hence the traffic.
Friday is the coming home day - hence the traffic.
I used to leave in the early hours of the morning; but I was stupid and got
no thanks for it.Mr Pounder

The "Go away for the weekend" traffic seems to be concentrated to Friday
evenings, but the "Come back from the weekend" traffic seems to be split
between Monday morning and Sunday evening.
I took particular notice yesterday (Friday) - there was a gradual build
up of lots of extra Friday traffic, starting at around 1 PM. I saw
queues which would simply not be there the rest of the week.As I'm on the road much of the day every day, with usually some choice
as to where and when I go, I tend to restrict my travel on Friday
afternoons to shorter distances, rather than waste time in traffic.
