This really makes me mad as someone who walks everywhere because they weren’t in the right lane and I wouldn’t be able to see them turning till I was on the middle of the crosswalk
This reminds me of a trip my family made through Chicago. When a light turned red people kept going until they were cut off by the other traffic that had the green light. It was chaos.
I know that intersection. It’s the service road for the Long Island Expressway. People always drove like maniacs on that road. Nice to see that hasn’t changed.
thought my country (Turkey) sucked at obeying the traffic rules untill watching this footage.
but yeah my country still sucks due to the assholes carrying weapons on their ride and has no hesitation to use em 🙁
Grew up in a town that was famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere that’s what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
Even if it ain’t all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams aby I’m from New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do, now you’re in New York!
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New Yooork!
On the avenue there ain’t never a curfew ladies work so hard
I stopped for a biker at a green light I was going right at and someone did that to me and almost almost smacked the bicycler that was crossing because they couldn’t see the biker through my car. I reported it but they didn’t do anything I thin don’t think.
Ah, good old Elmhurst. Used to live down the road and had a coworker that lived in a building across from Lefrak. The traffic situation there was absolutely miserable (worse than in many other spots due to the nature of the exit).
people just don’t give a fuck anymore I guess
Bonus for the no turn on red sign on the right hand side there. Sexy driving.
I’m from NY so that looks perfectly normal
I was hoping this was convenient cop.
I am disappoint.
No rules in that city. Cops are too busy meeting quotas elsewhere.
I watched a moron pull this exact same move in Vancouver, only they almost plowed through about 20 pedestrians crossing the street.
Jeez, 3 cars in a row blew that red light

red lights are jus a suggestion, apparently.
Phew, this was a lot.
So glad I saw this. Guess who’s never waiting at a light again? THIS GUY. Move aside, chumps.
Idk what it is about driving in Queens or Brooklyn that people feel like they can still blow through lights well after they turn red.
2nd, 3rd & anyone after the red is just for the 1st car
I reject your traffic laws and substitute my own!
BuT I gOt SuW…
I’m not even sure which car this video is supposed to be highlighting. Literally all four vehicles committed a traffic violation.
1st car: Changes lanes in the intersection.
2nd car: Failure to yield (kinda ticky tack, some cops will ticket that)
3rd car: Straight up runs the red light, no question there.
4th car: Fucking YOLO no-look right turn while running a red light from the wrong lane.
Everyone knows traffic lights are really just strong suggestions anyway. Its fine.
Holy hell! I’ve not been to Lefrak City in at least 25 years yet I recognized it instantly and it looks almost unchanged.

Why is there a no turn on red there?
If you have enough money, you don’t have to worry about fines ¯_(ツ)_/¯
In my country there’s always some dude waiting for you do to this shit so he can get hit by you and get your insurance money
Elmhurst stand up
"I don’t want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light."

It’s not for the second car, red light indicates door are secured, duh!
Where’s a cop when you need one.
I know that intersection. It’s the service road for the Long Island Expressway. People always drove like maniacs on that road. Nice to see that hasn’t changed.
I used to drive by there every morning to take the 495 south, i don’t miss it.
Ah by LeFrak City. I hate driving over there. The sheer volume of cars and stupidity is a headache!
Road is road.Drive wherever you want.
Someone forgot to remove those christmas lights from the hanging above the streets.

I hate driving in queens
In the Bronx, traffic laws seem to be a mere suggestion.
One of those times you really wish I cop saw that
Oooooooh, New York!
Oooooooh, New York!

That 4th car makes me want to hurt somebody.😫
Happens to me in philly all the time.
Almost as bad as driving in Boston.
And people think I’m crazy because I’d never live in an urban area……
Ah New York, the place where traffic laws don’t apply
This is NYC. I think this person had enough time to make a right turn. People don’t love to wait here.
Damn it, I’ll always be unable to drive in New York City,
I guess you’ve never driven in Florida?

Laws only apply to the people who are willing to obey them.
Ah, good old Elmhurst. Used to live down the road and had a coworker that lived in a building across from Lefrak. The traffic situation there was absolutely miserable (worse than in many other spots due to the nature of the exit).
I personally dont understand how turning right there from that right hand lane could cause an accident?
I hate this light it’s in junction and Horace Harding. People can’t drive in queens for shit.
I know this place! NYC queens near the mall.
