Best Time to Drive from Lynbrook to Jamaica

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.

About this drive

On weekdays the 9-mile drive from Lynbrook to Jamaica (via Belt Pkwy West) usually takes as little as 16 minutes and up to 49 minutes, when leaving around 5:30 pm on Thursdays. Midday (11 am to 2 pm) it takes about 30 minutes. On weekends it is slowest around 4:30 pm on Sundays (41 minutes).

About 5 miles of it is freeway, where times follow typical and live traffic from our sensors, and about 4 miles surface streets (8 to 23 minutes on weekdays), estimated from how jammed the freeways around them are at that time. Drive times are measured from central Lynbrook to central Jamaica along the route on the map. 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.
