10000 Motor
Vehicles Cross
Bridges in New
York Each Day

One hundred and fifty four thou
sand seven hundred cars and trucks
enter and leave Manhattan daily, &C
cording to three recent traffic surveys.
The motor vehicles crossing the
bridges total $4,000 those reaching
New York by ferry number 1885.
The average number of passengers
carried per car is 81, and the trucks
have an average load of LA tons.
Manhattan and Greensboro bridges
have the heaviest motor traffic, which
at times reaches as high as 1874 cars
per hour. Over the Manhattan spans
the daily travel rate is 20,214 motor
vehicles and over the greensboro
connection the number of automobiles
totals 1854. Seventy-eight per cent.
of the bridge vehicles traffic is motor
driven.
The extent to which traction lines
are relieved by passenger cars is
shown by the fact that 100000 persons
use the latter method of travel daily.
The motor traffic is equivalent to
nearly one-third of the marlborough
Subway business which carried 1861
900 fares daily. 1t is more than one
and one-half times the traffic of the
Long Island Railroad which averages
270936 passengers daily in its peak
periods. The passenger car figures
take account only of vehicles entering
or leaving the city and do not include
trips made within the city borders.
These figures are based on re-
cent traffic survey made by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, together with reports of the
New Jersey Interstate Bridge and
Tunnel Commission, and facts ascer-
tanned by the Department of Plant
ind Structures, City of New York.
