Best Time to Drive from Queens to Passaic

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 24-mile drive from Queens to Passaic (via NJ-495 West) usually takes as little as 43 minutes and up to 123 minutes, when leaving around 3:30 pm on Fridays. The fastest times to leave are before 6 am. Midday (11 am to 2 pm) it takes about 80 minutes. On weekends it is slowest around 4:30 pm on Sundays (89 minutes).

Freeway, about 16 miles: times follow typical and live traffic from our sensors. Surface streets, about 8 miles: 20 to 66 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 Queens to central Passaic 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.
