This maybe doesn't help you in the short-term, but FYI, 12th and 14th are controlled by the Port Authority, and the Port Authority appears to have set the traffic light timings to be the average walking speed of an adult, which is obviously very hostile to pedestrians. Seven lanes is also four too many lanes now that toll collection is all electronic now. The Holland Tunnel is only two lanes. They should cone off the extra lanes in the short-term and redesign 12th and 14th St in the long-term.
