With NYC’s parade and street fair season fast approaching, it’s always wise to keep up with news sources to better navigate parade routes and street closings.
- Predetermine alternate routes to avoid getting stuck in traffic.
- Always explain to passengers why you are choosing alternate routes.
- If the stress of working on parade days is too great, consider working different days.
- Keep your temper in check, don’t succumb to road rage if you get stuck in heavy traffic.
- Parades and street fairs bring many tourists to NYC. Be courteous to out-of-state drivers. When they park their car, they could be your next passenger.
- Remember: Parades and street fairs mean more pedestrians. All vehicles must yield to all pedestrians at all times, under any circumstance.
