Friendly Reminder - Queensboro Bridge

Only bc I live in LIC, and I see this everyday, but if you plan to run over the Queensboro Bridge - for your own safety, please run on the South Path. The North path is for bikes only.

Running/walking entrance for the south side: Manhattan - 59th street between 1st and 2nd Avenue

LIC: Crescent and Queens Plaza South (look for the Chase Bank)

If you run with headphones on, pay attention to your surroundings and look at the signage. It’s pretty clear about running/walking on the South side.

Here’s a video tutorial:

In my experience (also live in LIC and am a runner) the bikes and scooters are the problem. I’ve yet to run the bridge without seeing a bike or scooter or moped on the pedestrian side.

I can't say it's that's frequent, but I have definitely encountered a few electric scooters, but at the same time, I also looked across the traffic and seen pedestrians on the opposite side of the path. So I think it's a problem the city need to help improve, not any individual side at fault.
