Best Time to Drive from Flushing to Co-op City

None of this drive is measured by working traffic sensors right now. The rest is estimated from nearby sensors, typical speeds and street traffic, so times can be off. Why so few sensors work.

On weekdays the 10-mile drive from Flushing to Co-op City (via I-278 North and I-678 North) usually takes as little as 15 minutes and up to 39 minutes, when leaving around 4 pm on Fridays. The fastest times to leave are before 6 am. Midday (11 am to 2 pm) it takes about 22 minutes. On weekends it is slowest around 5 pm on Sundays (28 minutes).

⇄ Reverse trip: Co-op City to Flushing

Freeway, about 7 miles: times follow typical and live traffic from our sensors. Surface streets, about 3 miles: 7 to 20 minutes on weekdays, estimated from how jammed the freeways around them are at that time (we don't have street sensors yet). Drive times are measured from central Flushing (41st Avenue) to central Co-op City (De Kruif Place) along the route shown. Starting or ending elsewhere in a big city can add or save several minutes.

Simulated from typical freeway speeds at each point of the drive for the time you would reach it, from every 5-minute reading we have recorded. We don't have sensors on surface streets yet, so the time on them is estimated from how congested the freeways around each end of the drive are at that time, in both directions: streets jam when the freeways do.
