NYPD issues travel advisory as 79th UN General Assembly triggers increased police presence, traffic in NYC

As the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly unfolds this week in New York City, residents and visitors can anticipate heightened police presence and significant traffic disruptions in the vicinity of the UN headquarters.

With over a hundred world leaders gathering to discuss pressing global issues, the NYPD, along with inter-agency partners, has ramped up security measures to ensure safety during this high-profile event.

Officials are advising travelers to exercise caution and prepare for delays.

“If you’re traveling into Manhattan at any point this week, traffic is to be expected in the area of First Avenue between 42nd and 48th,” a spokesperson noted.

To ease commuting challenges, they recommend giving yourself extra time and utilizing public transportation whenever possible.

The assembly presents a unique opportunity for world leaders to engage in dialogue on key international matters, but it also brings logistical challenges for those navigating the bustling city streets.

Travelers are urged to plan their journeys accordingly to minimize inconvenience this week.
