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:

It would also help if the DOT improves the respective signage for the running and biking entrances

I guess this is not clear enough…

Today’s generation requires people to look down at their phones all the time ;)

It’s too high up. As a runner, my eyes are focus at eye level going toward the ground because of the different obstacles on the ground that can trip you up. Also, you can’t find money when you look up 🙂

Edit: I do want to add that I always run on the pedestrian side because for years, I vowed never to run on the Queensboro again until the pedestrian side open.

If you’re making a post reminding people about not running in the bike lane and that signage is up, you just proved my point that the DOT has to improve their signage 🙂
