THESE STREETS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THE U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY

It's that time of the year.

Get ready for some gridlock today as the 78th session of the UN General Assembly
officially kicked off.

Today through Friday, September 29, a large portion of the east side of
Manhattan, right by the U.N.'s own headquarters, will basically be closed to
traffic. According to officials, the average car speed in the area will be close
to four miles per hour. That is all to say: skip the Uber, leave your own
automobile at home and opt for public transport (read: the subway!) instead.

“The UN General Assembly is a great event each year the city is proud to host,
but New Yorkers should do their part in minimizing congestion and seeking
alternative modes of transportation,” New York City Department of
Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said in an official statement.

The annual meeting of world leaders is a pretty big deal, with hundreds of
politicians gathering in the city to discuss a wide variety of world-related
issues. Even more specifically, the theme for this year's meeting is “Rebuilding
trust and reigniting global solidarity: Accelerating action on the 2030 Agenda
and its Sustainable Development Goals towards peace, prosperity, progress and
sustainability for all.”
