(116,464 posts)The bridge, an integral conduit within the New York Metropolitan Area, has an upper level carrying four lanes in each direction and a lower level with three lanes in each direction, for a total of 14 lanes of travel. The speed limit on the bridge is 45 mph (72 km/h), though congestion often slows traffic, especially during the morning and evening rush hours. The bridge's upper level carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic. As of 2013, the George Washington Bridge carries approximately 102 million vehicles per year, making it the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge,[8][9] according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the bi-state government agency that owns and operates several area bridges, tunnels, and airports.

(2,419 posts)That was a mayor he wanted to teach a lesson to. 35,000 Fort Lee residents, tens of thousands of commuters from Rockland and Orange County NY, all of northern NJ and as far away as Eastern Pennsylvania paid a price for his petty vendetta. That's the story! That's standard practice for Christie and his inner circle. They had the arrogance or hubris to believe they were immune to any consequences. Its the behavior of sociopaths.
