Pope Francis will visit New York City Thursday and Friday, during the United Nations General Assembly. For many New Yorkers, the biggest effect on their lives may be the traffic snarls these events will cause. Here's a map of road closures announced by the New York Police Department. 

The MTA will be adding more trains and buses, but says the road closures and large crowds will affect bus routes. Use subway service as an alternative to buses — better yet, avoid Manhattan all together.
