Traffic Rules and Regulations/"Green Book" (PDF, 220
TRAFFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS For the Holland Tunnel Lincoln Tunnel George Washington Bridge Bayonne Bridge Goethals Bridge Outerbridge Crossing Revised September 2016 The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a self-supporting agency of the States of New York and New Jersey. It was created by a compact between the two States in 1921 for the development of transportation facilities and the promotion and protection of commerce in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan region. At the top of the organization is the twelve-member Board of Commissioners, appointed by the Governors of New York and New Jersey. There are six members from each state who serve for six-year overlapping terms. The Commissioners serve with-out pay as a public service. They report directly to the Governors of the two States, who have veto power over Commissioners’ actions. A career staff of more than 7,000 employees, headed by the Executive Director, is responsible to the Board of Commissioners. Over the years the Port Authority, at the direction of the States of New York and New Jersey has developed airports, marine terminals, bridges and tunnels, bus terminals, the PATH rapid transit system, the World Trade Center and other facilities of commerce and transportation. All of this has been accomplished without burden to the taxpayers. These undertakings are public projects; all are built with moneys borrowed solely on the Port Authority’s credit. There is no power to tax, or to pledge the credit of the States. i FOREWORD This booklet is intended to provide the users of Port Authority tunnels and bridges with detailed and specific information concerning rules, regulations and toll rates established by the Port Authority to regulate the conduct of traffic moving in or upon these vehicular crossings.

The relatively few miles of improved road were around towns and cities (a road was “improved” if it was graded). That year, Carl Fisher (developer of Miami Beach and the Indianapolis Speedway, among other things) conceived a trans-continental highway. He called it the “Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway.” It would be finished in time for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition and would run from the exposition’s host city; San Francisco, to New York City. Two auto industry tycoons played major roles in the highway’s development: Frank Seiberling - president of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., and Henry Joy - president of the Packard Motor Car Company. It was Henry Joy who came up with the idea of naming the highway after POTUS Abraham Lincoln. On July 1st 1913, the Lincoln Highway Association was officially incorporated.

The GREAT BRIDGE ARCHITECT/DESIGNER
1 The GREAT BRIDGE ARCHITECT/DESIGNER (Othmar Ammann left his Mark on New York City) Steve Krar Perhaps no twentieth-century engineer has left a more visible mark on a major city than had Othmar Ammann on New York. His five major bridges bear much of the enormous traffic flow to and from the city. They are beautiful and efficient structures, for Ammann achieved an uncommon harmony of visual elegance, simplicity, and power with practical design. Othmar Ammann Born in Switzerland, Othmar Ammann attended the Federal Polytechnic Institute of Zurich and earned an engineering degree in 1902. He had an interest in and an aptitude for mathematics and physics. Coming to the United States In August of 1907 the Quebec Bridge over the St. Lawrence River in Canada collapsed while under construction. Ammann offered to assist in the investigation of the collapse; his well-written report on the disaster earned him respect in his profession. The Hell Gate Bridge In 1912 Ammann was a chief assistant to Gustav Lindenthal, who was preparing for the great railroad bridge between Queens and Wards Island known as Hell Gate. The span was large; the ultimate design would be the longest arch-type bridge in the world. The rapid tidal currents made impossible to erect scaffolding in the river. The Hell Gate Bridge opened in 1917 and its design communicates rigidity with almost all its weight and outward thrust carried by the lower of the two steel arches. Hudson River Bridge Ammann’s final design for the Hudson River bridge called for a 3,500-foot span twice the length of any existing bridge, between Fort Lee in New Jersey and 179 Street in Manhattan.

NYC / Hudson River Tour - How to Do It by Dave Dion
NYC / Hudson River Tour - How To Do It By Dave Dion Here’s how I’ve done the NYC / Hudson River Tour many times. To start - it’s basically a straight line from FIT to the Tappan Zee Bridge (a good visual point to pick up the Hudson River for your start South to Manhattan). See the sectional - from FIT right over Bradley (BDL) then near Waterbury (OXC) and Danbury (DXR) and scoot by the Northern edge of Westchester County (HPN). I go at 4.5 msl to clear the airport airspaces overhead; at Westchester - their airspace is up to 3.0 msl and the bottom of Kennedy airspace is 3.0 msl … so be at 3.0 msl as you scoot around / by Westchester and under Kennedy for a few minutes before arriving at the Tappan Zee Bridge. > BTW - I’ve flown all the way (to and from the Hudson) with flight following and WITHOUT flight following (talked to no one). You should flight follow and when asked about intentions or destination … say “Doing the Hudson River Exclusion today”. After starting with Bradley Approach (119.0) … a few handoffs to New York Approach and if they are having a good day … you’ll get a short cut through Westchester Airport (and they’ll assign an altitude through Kennedy Class B) to arrive the Hudson River South of the Tappan Zee Bridge Now it’s South to Manhattan on the West side of the Hudson (New Jersey side) - see kneeboard below for the following step by step references: > The following screenshots are the kneeboard available at faasafety.gov > Get set up (per the kneeboard) - basically 1.0 msl, a comfortable airspeed (e.g., less than 140; I do a little slow ~100 … with no flaps or flaps ..
