Get around

As with most cities and most places in urban and suburban New Jersey, traffic is a problem, but avoiding rush hour makes all the difference. Anyone visiting should also make note that flooding is a major problem in Hackensack (and many surrounding towns, especially in Southern Bergen). Just 15 minutes of steady downpour will make some roads flood, and a few hours of steady rain will surely make many roads impassable, especially River Street. If you can avoid driving while it's raining or flooded, please do. If not, try to use roads on higher ground towards Summit Avenue.
