Every morning at 8AM, the traffic is moving slow on Academy street and Summit Avenue. Cause of delay: construction. There is an apartment being built/renovated in Academy Street and the road is blocked past Summit Avenue. From the looks of it, it seems like it will take a considerable amount of time before the construction is finished.

If you are driving to work, either in Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City or even NYC, expect a slow moving traffic in this area. If you are coming from Bergen Avenue going to Academy, you either have to turn left or right when you hit Summit Avenue. The pile up is greatest at this intersection.

Summit Avenue in the morning is busy, it will take you 10 minutes to get past the DMV office because a lot of motorists turn left going to the main road (Kennedy Boulevard). I suggest you leave at least 10 minutes early to avoid tardiness going to work.
