퀸즈에서 타임스퀘어까지 전기 스쿠터 어드벤처

### 아스토리아에서 타임스퀘어까지 전기 스쿠터 어드벤처
* 🛴 2021년 10월 2일, 저는 여러 번 환승해야 하는 우회로 때문에 지하철 대신 **퀸즈 아스토리아에서 타임스퀘어까지 전동 스쿠터**를 타고 가기로 했습니다.
* 🌉 이 라이딩에는 **퀸즈보로 다리의 좁은 자전거 및 보행자 전용 차선**을 통과하는 것이 포함되었는데, 근처를 운행하는 급행 지하철 열차 때문에 까다로울 수 있습니다.
* 🚧 브로드웨이 역에 다다르자 도로 폐쇄와 공사가 진행 중이어서 시내 이동에 불편을 겪는 경우가 많았는데, 이런 경우 보통 **버스를 이용**하곤 했습니다.
* 🏙 5번가에 도착하자마자 **버버리, 루이비통 등 상징적인 매장**으로 북적이는 분위기를 마주했고, **타임스퀘어에서 예상치 못한 미니언 코스튬**도 발견할 수 있었습니다.
* 🎭 저는 **타임스퀘어의 활기찬 에너지와 재능 있는 거리 공연자들**을 강조하며 시청자들에게 더 많은 모험을 위해 좋아요를 누르고 구독하도록 초대하는 영상으로 마무리했습니다.
* 🚦 돌아오는 길에는 교통 체증과 공사로 인해 특히 센트럴 파크 주변에서 **432 파크 애비뉴와 같은 고층 건물**이 구조적인 문제에 직면해 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었습니다.
* 👩 또한 보행자가 넘어지는 경미한 사고도 목격하여 **뉴욕의 번잡한 거리를 이동하는 동안 주의의 중요성**을 강조했습니다.
* 🌆 전반적으로 이번 여행은 도전과 흥분이 뒤섞인 여행이었으며, **도시 통근의 역동적인 특성과 공사 및 교통체증 속에서 신중한 운전**이 필요하다는 것을 보여주었습니다.

아스토리아에서 타임스퀘어까지 전기 스쿠터를 타고 이동하며 뉴욕의 활기차면서도 혼란스러운 도시 풍경을 감상해 보세요.

What's up, everyone? I recorded this video on Saturday, October 2nd, 2021, and it's 73 Fahrenheit (23 Celsius). It's about 2:15 in the afternoon. I'm in Astoria, Queens, and I'm going to ride my electric scooter to Times Square. I was going to take the subway, but they have this crazy detour going on today where you have to ride it one stop to Astoria Boulevard and then take the train going the opposite way, going express. So, I figured since I have the scooter anyway, I'll just go to Manhattan with this. The thing I don't like is the Queensboro Bridge with the narrow bike lane and pedestrian lane, but we'll just have to deal with it, I guess. There's a subway now using the center tracks to go express, so [Music] gets a little bit dicey sometimes here on the train tracks. [Music] Here's Broadway Station. [Music] Not related to the Broadway of Manhattan which

I'll actually be ending this video at because uh Broadway Times Square. Broadway's synonymous with uh the Times Square area pretty much [Music]. So there's a lot of street closures and construction right now, even in the subway as he uh as I explained. Usually, if I'm going by foot and I um decide to go into the city and I know there's construction going on like this, I'll take the bus to the other subway station. This Q102 bus, it pretty much goes down 31st Street and follows this elevated train. I'll get off at the Queen's Plaza station and I'll go downstairs for the train. Wow, look at this. Even underneath the tracks here, it's blocked off. So I guess I have to take another route, man. Um, I guess I'll make a right here and I'll take 30th Street or 29th Street [Music]. This is why there's a construction on the subway probably. They're doing something to the tracks that they need the road here for our maintenance trains and crew.

I guess we'll take 30th Street. 30th Street is, uh, better, I think. All right, I'm going left. Craziness over here. I also said I was going to take 29th Street, but 29th Street is one way going northbound, so there's no way I can go there. This way is the only way that really makes sense. Oh, are you okay? You all right? You hit your head? Oh, gosh, yeah, she fell down running across the street. Yeah, are you sure? Wait, yeah, I saw her fall. She fell like on her hand. I don't think she hit her head, so that's good, you know? Yeah, your hand looks a little cut up, but that's okay. Yeah, you need, yeah, I know. I was halfway up the block, and she ran across and tripped. Yeah, and sometimes, yeah, you could break your bone or anything. Yeah, yeah, you know, this is very dangerous, of course. Yeah, I've fallen a lot, so wow, it looks like she'll be fine. Those wasn't that bad. All right, have a great day. You too.

yeah, she looks okay. Her dog's fine too. Be well, okay. Oh wow, they were doing construction on 38th street there with a crane over the subway tracks. Maybe track replacement or anything. Uh, let's see, can I make a left here and go back on to where I needed to go. All right, so looks like it was just that one or two blocks that was a little bit tricky with the traffic. Now this is the fun part. Good, thank goodness there's a new bike lane here. When this wasn't here, this was a big pain in the butt. And I still want to get uh, keep it very cautious. All right here, I'm going to lift my scooter up onto the sidewalk and we'll push it to the corner. Here's the subway station I'd normally uh, go to if I were to take the bus. But even today, if I took the bus, I think it would have had trouble going down 31st street because of all the construction here. This area always a madhouse for traffic. [Music] All right, here we go.

queensborough bridge. Thank you. We might even beat all these car drivers going to Manhattan on your left. I can't wait for the city to uh separate this combined pedestrian and cycling lane with the other side and make the other side pedestrian only. Would eliminate a lot of the conflicts here on the bridge. Well, this shouldn't be allowed on the bridge. It's actually a lot less busy on the bridge than I thought it was going to be on a nice autumn day like this. You'll see a lot more people running and exercising, so actually this kind of weather is perfect for cycling or going for a walk. You won't really sweat that much in this kind of weather. It's not humid. Got Roosevelt Island right beneath me coming up. I should make another trip over there soon. It's a nice place to go. Loosen up on the throttle. It's getting a little bit busy. This course is carrying a lot of stuff on his bike and plastic bags, and he's got a rack in the back carrying stuff.

see stuff like that over there where there was a lot of congestion can be alleviated if the lanes are separate. I don't know what the time frame is for the city to do that, but it'd be nice to do it soon. The city just recently finished the separated Brooklyn Bridge bike lane, which I've done a video about, and that one so far has been working well, although there are a few blind spots to worry about. But hopefully, those can be addressed with some signage or some mirrors or even some paints saying that you can't pass this bridge. You don't really have that issue, but what I do have an issue with is over here at the end with this turn. It is a horseshoe bend, and it gets pretty hairy sometimes because you have a conflict of traffic here. It gets narrow, and then you have the pedestrian traffic and people coming up, so just take it really slow here. Oh, this is new. They didn't have the green paint here before. It's good that they have this in here.

now though it could be a little bit smoothed out. It's really rough. All right, so I'm gonna make a right turn here, and we'll head across 59th Street to Second Avenue, and then I'll head over to the East Side. This over here says stop, but it's only really for the cars because they don't want them to go onto the outer roadway here. This is going to be the future pedestrian lane on the Queensboro Bridge. Since now I'm in the city and it gets a little bit more crazy or traffic, I'm going to lower down the speed of the scooter down to the drive mode, which goes a max of 15 miles an hour. The sport mode, which I was on before, that goes 18.6. Wow, kind of bold for that smart car to just cut in front of the other one. Let's go to 57th Street. Over here is where I want to turn up the speed because I'm not in a narrow bike lane anymore. We'll go to Broadway along 57th Street.

to see the progress of these Central Park super tall skyscrapers. First ones coming up on Park Avenue, 432 Park Avenue. That was formerly the tallest residential tower in New York City, but that's been surpassed by the Central Park Tower, which is the tallest building by floor height. The 432 Park Avenue has been in the news recently. It's been reported to have a lot of structural deficiencies. People have complained that the elevators have gotten stuck, that the soundproofing in the building is not good, there's leaks in the building, and other quality of life issues. So, the residents are actually suing the developer of the building for millions of dollars. Think about that. You have a great place to live on Park Avenue, and then you have your building with a lot of structural issues. Looks like the city blocked off Lexington Avenue going south, so we're going to have a lot of traffic going this way. This hole here, 135 57th Street, it's a big WeWork office. I'm not really sure how the future of

wework is going to be because right now there's a lot of commercial vacancies. Wow, bad driving around here. There's a lot of commercial vacancies around New York City. They can't find people that rental office space. It's not just limited office space too by retail still recovering in New York City. So I was going to go past on the right but I changed my mind after seeing that steam uh coming out. Don't want to get stuck above that. Oh, watch this taxi. They emerge without giving me too much space here on the corner of Madison 57th Street. You've got IBM. We're approaching the world-famous Fifth Avenue. Burberry, David Yurman. We got Louis Vuitton on the corner. This is where it's at. Thank you. Oh, what's going on here now? Stay behind this drive. Oh, we're merging and here I thought 57th was gonna be a good time. Wow, look at Fifth Avenue. It is busy here on Fifth Avenue. We'll just stay here. Here's Nine West 57th Street.

big skyscraper as well. This driver could have been in the right lane. It would have made the turn a little bit easier. Here we've got another super tall skyscraper. This is 111 West 57th Street. They call this area Billionaires Row, and for a reason. Six and a half Avenue, the secret street that cuts across almost the Times Square area. I've done a video of that as well. Uses an ingenious combination of building lobbies and public spaces to create a through street right in between the block of 6th and 7th Avenues on 57th Street. Oh gosh, oh man. Good thing I didn't take 7th Avenue because the city is getting ready to resurface it. But here's Broadway. Here it is, Central Park Tower. I'm right next to it, otherwise known as the Nordstrom Tower. Okay, this pothole can be fixed. I'll report it. Fire can remember. Got a nice bike lane here on Broadway, and Times Square is straight ahead. I'm always a little bit careful going

past out to a restaurant, um, seating like this because you never know if someone is going to pop out behind it. You don't have a direct line of sight. Better to be on the cautious side. So, at Sullivan Theater, late-night show with David Letterman, now Stephen Colbert. David Letterman was the OG. I missed that guy. All right, we're getting close to Times Square. Oh wow, voices of gotham.org. Maybe there's a free performance that's going on today. Wow, the city is going to resurface 50th Street over here too. It's a short block, very short block, but I just walked my scooter across the street. It's a lot of pigeons here. All the pigeons got scared by the car honk. Only the ones that knew better stayed. The other ones got spooked off. Maybe those pigeons that flew off were new to New York. That's probably what it is. Let's go bye. What you don't want to do here is fight traffic, otherwise you'll get hit where unsurpris.

uh surprising left turn. Well, look at this. You got minions here in Times Square. I haven't seen minion costumes yet in Times Square. Usually, it's been the traditional Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Spider-Man, Batman, Incredible Hulk. All right, here we are across walls of the world. Let me take this off and we'll go for a walk. This is it. We're in Times Square, aka tourist central. Thank you [Music]. Oh, these dancers are very talented. They always drop a big reaction from the crowd [Music]. All right, everyone. Think I'll be ending my video here. If you enjoyed my scooter ride all the way from the story of Queens to Times Square, then smash the like button for me, subscribe for some more videos like these, and I'll see you next time. Goodbye, everyone. Take care [Music] [Applause] [Music] you

아스토리아에서 타임스퀘어까지 전기 스쿠터 타기

이 영상은 따뜻한 10월 오후 퀸즈 아스토리아에서 타임스퀘어까지 스쿠터를 타고 이동하는 모습을 담고 있습니다.

내레이터는 지하철의 우회와 공사에 대해 이야기하며 대신 스쿠터를 선택합니다.

이 영상에는 5번가의 번화한 거리, 공실, 상징적인 장소가 등장합니다.

도시의 교통 혼잡 및 교통 상황 탐색하기

차선을 분리하면 혼잡을 완화할 수 있으며, 최근 완공된 브루클린 브리지 자전거 전용 차선은 일부 사각지대에도 불구하고 잘 작동하고 있습니다.

차선 끝의 말굽 커브길은 교통 체증을 유발할 수 있으므로 서행하는 것이 중요합니다.

녹색 페인트와 조심스러운 식당 좌석의 추가는 긍정적인 변화이며, 50번가를 재포장하려는 뉴욕시의 계획과 비둘기의 존재는 도시의 역동성을 더합니다.

스피커가 퀸즈보로 다리의 향후 보행자 전용 차선을 가리키며 2번 도로로 우회전하고 있습니다.

도시의 교통량 증가로 인해 스쿠터의 속도를 시속 15마일로 낮춥니다.

화자는 38번가에서 공사 중인 도로를 발견하고 새로운 자전거 도로의 중요성을 강조하며 더 쉽게 이동할 수 있도록 안내합니다.

한때 뉴욕에서 가장 높은 주거용 타워였던 432 파크 애비뉴는 현재 구조적 결함과 삶의 질 문제로 인해 주민들로부터 소송을 당하고 있습니다.

센트럴 파크 타워가 이를 뛰어넘어 층수 기준으로 가장 높은 건물이 되었습니다.

도로 폐쇄로 인해 도시 교통이 영향을 받고 있으며 인근 WeWork 오피스의 미래도 불확실합니다.

타임스퀘어와 그 주변 둘러보기

내레이터는 타임스퀘어에 기존 캐릭터에서 벗어난 미니언 의상이 등장하는 것을 관찰합니다.

특히 억만장자 거리로 알려진 111 웨스트 57번가를 비롯한 이 지역의 높은 고층 빌딩을 강조합니다.

영상은 스쿠터를 타고 도시를 가로지르며 다리에서 보행자와 자전거 도로를 분리하는 것의 중요성을 언급하고 야외 활동을 하기에 완벽한 날씨를 소개하는 것으로 마무리됩니다.
