That's exactly what I wanted to say earlier, but you broke it down in a more detailed manner. Are you referring to the West Side Highway, in the 40s and 50s?? That's where I got caught "between a rock and a hard place" in just the situation you described above! It's designed like a perfect trap. I cannot imagine how many thousands of $$$ that small stretch of highway brings to NYC DOT every day.
