Nearly double the diplomats and world leaders will attend this year's United Nations General Assembly, which means the return of gridlock alerts surrounding the conference.
"There will be hundreds of motorcades moving around the city, sometimes simultaneously," NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said. "There will be security checkpoints. There'll be street closures, detours and other driving restrictions, including unannounced traffic freezes.
Police say the roads impacted will stretch from 42nd Street to 57th Street from First Avenue to Fifth Avenue and drivers need to be aware of the closures and times. "If you must drive or make deliveries in the area, we advise you to avoid the area during the hours of 6 a.m. through 7 p.m. as we work tirelessly together to make sure the highest level of security and efficiency is done, we strongly encourage New Yorkers and visitors to plan ahead, use alternate routes and use mass transit if they plan to visit the areas," NYPD Chief of Transportation Kim Royster said.
