Everything would be so clear
I put up my annual post for

Congestion pricing starts in Manhattan midnight Sunday, January 5, and I'm pissed. I'm glad this article let me know that getting charged for it starts on the lower level of the Queensboro Bridge but not the upper level, since that feeds out onto 62nd Street and gives you the option of traveling above the congestion zone. If you use the upper level of the bridge but head downtown afterward, your car will start being charged at 60th Street. So if I use the lower level, I know to put my E-Zpass on my car window before I reach the bridge. Upper level, I could wait until I'm in Manhattan if I wished. (I don't have it on full time because I don't use it often and don't feel like potentially being tracked everywhere.)
It will cost $9 to enter Manhattan's Congestion Relief Zone during peak daytime hours. The peak hours are from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. During off-peak hours, tolls will be reduced by 75%, so a $9 ride becomes $2.25.
