Lincoln Tunnel 将市中心的 Manhattan 与哈德逊河下游的新泽西州威霍肯连接起来，通过三条管道在两个州之间运输交通。位于第九大道和第十大道之间的西 31 街和 33 街 Lincoln Tunnel 引道上的 NYCDOT 摄像机覆盖了该国使用最频繁的河流过境点之一的 Manhattan 一侧。 NYC Live Command Center 具有两个进给位置。

Lincoln Tun Approach (Bet 9Ave & 10Ave) @ W31 ST: 该摄像机覆盖了最南端的引道街区，那里排队等待 Lincoln Tunnel 的交通从隧道入口向 31 街回流。该信息显示 Manhattan 收费广场入口处任何队列的深度。
Lincoln Tun Approach (Bet. 9Av & 10Av) @ W 33 St: 33 街的摄像头显示了更靠后一个街区的通道，从而可以更广泛地了解高峰时段的排队长度。第九大道和第十大道之间的位置显示了从中城街道网格向隧道入口向西的交通流。
Lincoln Tunnel 的工作原理
Lincoln Tunnel 在哈德逊河下方有三个独立的管道，每个管道长约一英里半。中心管于 1937 年开通，北管于 1945 年开通，南管于 1957 年开通。这些管可以在任一方向承载交通，港务局根据一天中的时间和交通状况调整哪些管承载进出交通。
在早高峰期间，更多地铁专用于入站交通（新泽西至 Manhattan）。在晚高峰期间，更多地铁承担出站交通。在周五晚上和重大节假日之前，所有可用运力都会移出。与许多固定方向交叉口相比，这种可逆性是一个显着的优势。
为什么这种方法容易发生拥塞
The Manhattan entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel is in the Hell's Kitchen / Clinton neighborhood, between Ninth and Tenth Avenues in the 30s and 40s. The street grid in this area is standard Manhattan — 60-foot-wide streets with two-way or one-way flow — feeding into a major regional connector that at peak periods carries over 120,000 vehicles per day.
The compression from city streets to tunnel entrance creates the backup visible on camera. There's no dedicated highway ramp structure leading to the Lincoln Tunnel the way there is at many suburban tunnel and bridge approaches. Vehicles queue in the surface street grid, which means the backup extends into city blocks and affects cross-street traffic as the queue grows.
Lincoln Tunnel 的巴士交通
Lincoln Tunnel 在新泽西州一侧有一条专用公交车道，称为 XBL（专用公交车道），在早高峰期间，公交车可以绕过客运车辆队列。这产生了从新泽西州到港务局巴士总站（第 42 街以东几个街区）的巴士通勤交通的很大一部分，港务局巴士总站是世界上最繁忙的巴士总站。
The camera at the Manhattan approach doesn't show the XBL effect directly, but the separate flow of bus traffic is visible in the feeds as a distinct movement pattern from the passenger vehicle queue.
检查相机的高峰时间
对于出境旅行（Manhattan 飞往新泽西州），最糟糕的时间是工作日晚上的下午 4 点至 7 点，周五晚上一直持续到傍晚，情况比周一到周四要糟糕得多。在感恩节、国庆节和劳动节之前，Lincoln Tunnel 出站途径是纽约大都市区最拥堵的路段之一。
对于入境旅行（新泽西至 Manhattan），最糟糕的时段是工作日早上 7 点至 9:30。摄像头显示的是 Manhattan 侧的情况，反映的是入境方向的畅通交通，而不是实际队列，但隧道出口异常拥堵影响了摄像头拍摄的地面街道。
The Hell's Kitchen Context
The Lincoln Tunnel approach runs through Hell's Kitchen (also called Clinton), a neighborhood that has transformed significantly since the 1990s. What was a working-class residential neighborhood with a significant crime rate in the 1970s and 80s is now a dense mix of residential buildings, restaurants, theaters, and the commercial activity that serves the convention and media industries based in this part of Midtown.
The camera feeds around the tunnel approach show the neighborhood's current character: newer residential towers mixed with older walk-up buildings, the food and entertainment strip on Ninth Avenue, and the steady flow of tunnel-bound vehicles navigating through the residential streets. The contrast between the highway-level traffic volume at the tunnel entrance and the residential character of the surrounding blocks is visible in the camera's wider field of view.
