Not official report. AI-generated from public dispatch audio. Always verify with official sources.

Officers coordinate temporary traffic changes and congestion control near 42nd Street and Madison Avenue in New York City. Northbound traffic at the intersection is restricted to buses only. They discuss heavy traffic because a section of Fifth Avenue near 57th Street is closed for an event, which is causing backups on nearby avenues in both directions. Officers request units to look for and clear double-parked vehicles to keep traffic moving in the affected area.
