Triborough Bridgecam

I always loved this. After the southbound Harlem River Drive connects with the FDR, just before you emerge under the Manhattan legs of the Triborough Bridge, there's a street sign.



A street sign that reads FDR DR n one side and TRIBORO BR on the other.

Let's be clear, for our nonnative friends, that the FDR drive is a ten-mile-long, six lane highway bracketing the east side of Manhattan, and that the scale of the Triborough Bridge can be discerned from its moniker: it's not even a thing, it's several things, it's a series of bridges that, taken collectively, spans Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx. It must weigh, I don't know, a million tons.

Let's be clear: if you ever got close enough to this sign, on foot, that it could do you any good by telling you where you were, you would be dead.
