Ok I couldn't just capture the video alone so please go to this site http://boingboing.net/ and scroll down to the 16th story. You will see a street in New york push play and prepare to grit your teeth!

I think this is the same video Mimi found. :eek: Remind me to look both ways, twice, if I ever go to NYC. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=43166

What I commented in the other thread - what I've actually said several times here before. NYC traffic is a thing unto itself. Those people ARE following the rules - it's just a different set of unwritten rules than the rest of the USA has. The only thing unusual about that video - as I felt and as a couple of the New Yorkers here have confirmed - is that the motorized traffic is remarkably light and well-behaved.

Every place has unwritten traffic rules. New York's just seem "more different" to those of us from calmer places.

Sorry a little behind on what has been up already. Excuse if this is a repeat!
