+1 Nothing makes me happier than riding on Park or Sixth Ave during rush hour. But as crazy as they may seem, there is a predictable flow in the mayhem.

The problem with a mass of parked cars is that it's hard to get a read on when someone is going to pull out of a spot unannounced or open the door without looking. Never mind the meandering peds who aren't looking where they're going... I have my own personal gauntlet at Astor Place and Lafayette St - there is a maurading hoarde of pedestrians on Blackberries who meander across the street - whether they have the light or not - who they feel they have the right to cross as they please.
