ROAD READY: Tips to avoid bumper-to-bumper traffic in the Bronx

Summer fun in full effect this week on News 12 the Bronx. We're getting you Rd. ready. Today. We're looking at some ways to navigate the daily bumper to bumper traffic that we all dread in our borough, especially on the Buckner. That's my least favorite. From accidents to construction and even congestion, we can all agree traffic can be a major headache. So we spoke with a traffic expert from 5 JS Automotive. He gave us some tricks of the road, telling you how to avoid major delays by using navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze. What I do is I zoom in, I see the streets where one is going left, one's going down, and I can see where the streets go around the area and I follow that. That's what gets me out of my my jam. OK, I'm going to try that next time and make sure you tune in next hour as we show you at six how to navigate the busy streets of the Boogie Down and what areas drivers say you should avoid.
