Editing Brooklyn Bridge (section)

===Vehicular traffic===
Horse-drawn carriages have been allowed to use the Brooklyn Bridge's roadways since its opening. Originally, each of the two roadways carried two lanes of a different direction of traffic.<ref name="Barnes p. 28" /> The lanes were relatively narrow at only {{Convert|8|ft|m|abbr=}} wide.<ref name="nyt19540504" /> In July 1922, motor vehicles were banned from the bridge;<ref name="nyt19220707" /> the ban lasted until May 1925.<ref name="The New York Times 1925 e658" /><ref name="p553994510" />

After 1950, the main roadway carried six lanes of automobile traffic, three in each direction.<ref name="nyt19500303" /> It was then reduced to five lanes with the addition of a two-way bike lane on the Manhattan-bound side in 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Budds|first=Diana|date=September 17, 2021|title=I Wish I Liked the New Brooklyn Bridge Bike Lane More|url=https://www.curbed.com/2021/09/brooklyn-bridge-new-protected-bike-lane.html|access-date=February 6, 2022|website=Curbed|language=en-us|archive-date=February 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220206135752/https://www.curbed.com/2021/09/brooklyn-bridge-new-protected-bike-lane.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=September 20, 2021|title=Brooklyn Bridge's New Bike Lane Draws Praise From Some, Criticism From Others|url=https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/09/20/brooklyn-bridge-bicycle-lane-city-hall-park/|access-date=February 6, 2022|language=en-US|archive-date=February 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220206211728/https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/09/20/brooklyn-bridge-bicycle-lane-city-hall-park/|url-status=live}}</ref> Because of the roadway's posted height restriction of {{convert|11|ft|m|abbr=on}} and weight restriction of {{convert|6000|lb|kg|abbr=on}}, commercial vehicles and buses are prohibited from using the Brooklyn Bridge.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/parkway-restrictions.shtml|title=NYC DOT – Parkway Truck Restrictions|website=www1.nyc.gov|access-date=June 28, 2019|archive-date=July 11, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190711051217/https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/parkway-restrictions.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> The weight restrictions prohibit heavy passenger vehicles such as pickup trucks and SUVs from using the bridge, though this is not often enforced in practice.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/1720/8-cars-that-legally-cant-cross-the-brooklyn-bridge|title=8 Cars That Legally Can't Cross the Brooklyn Bridge|last=Courtney|first=Will Sabel|website=The Drive|date=January 18, 2016|access-date=June 28, 2019|archive-date=March 25, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200325135216/https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/1720/8-cars-that-legally-cant-cross-the-brooklyn-bridge|url-status=live}}</ref>

On the Brooklyn side, vehicles can enter the bridge from Tillary/Adams Streets to the south, Sands/Pearl Streets to the west, and exit 28B of the eastbound [[Brooklyn-Queens Expressway]]. In Manhattan, cars can enter from both the northbound and southbound FDR Drive, as well as Park Row to the west, [[Chambers Street (Manhattan)|Chambers]]/Centre Streets to the north, and Pearl Street to the south.<ref name="google" /> However, the exit from the bridge to northbound Park Row was closed after the September 11 attacks because of increased security concerns: that section of Park Row ran under One Police Plaza, the NYPD headquarters.<ref name="Buckley 2007" />

====Exit list====
Vehicular access to the bridge is provided by a complex series of ramps on both sides of the bridge. There are two entrances to the bridge's [[#Walkway|pedestrian promenade]] on either side.<ref name="google" /> The current configuration, including the closed ramp from the bridge to the northbound Park Row, was constructed from the mid-1950s until the early 1970s.<ref name="Buckley 2007" />{{Clear}}
