Peace Bridge, Rainbow, or Queenston.....would one be better than the others for less likely traffic?

no one that lives in New York knows anything about the border bridges??
Simple really, whichever one is the farthest away from the most populous area would be the one with the least amount of traffic. Everyone I know always goes up through the Ogdensburg Prescott bridge or the 1000 islands bridge near Wellesley island. I have no experience with those bridges near Buffalo. I try to avoid big cities

thank you
Its going to be either super busy or dead once the border opens. We always crossed at the 1000 island bridge and only once did we have a longer than normal wait.

As per the NYS Thuway camera's and local news in Buffalo the Peace Bridge yesterday had no wait times while the Rainbow Bridge had a little over a 1 hour wait. Go the the NYS Thruway cameras and get LIVE up to date picks of anywhere on that system.
Buffalo a big city, now that's FUNNYOriginally Posted by ECobb91
All a matter of perspective. Buffalo and the surrounding area has around 1.1million people and the traffic can be bad. If you just focus on Buffalo itself, the city has over 250k people. It’s the second largest city/metropolitan area in the state. So yes it is a big city. But Syracuse and Albany are both big to me as well and they have half the population of Buffalo. The closest city to me has 60k people and even at that we try to avoid it.
heck where I live now has a population of 2k people and we think it’s too busy.

Sorry but I live here now for many years and there is NO traffic and I can actually tow my boat in the city streets without a problem. Most of that 250k population doesn't even own a car. You can get to ANYWHERE in the county in 20 minutes.
It's not a Big City, just ask the NFL that would love to have the Bills move anywhere else.
I've been watching the bridge traffic on peacebridge.com
proly depends how you are coming in ,from the south i would use peace bridge the 190 is usually not bad easy on easy off to the bridge,from the east you would have to take the 290(wich is usually busy) to 190 and across the grand island bridges if you had the option on how to come into buffalo i would say the peace bridge is your best choice
thank you
