"When the president moves, he arrives in a 35-car motorcade, and when that motorcade is moving ... every street, every avenue freezes ... Not just the cars have to stop. Bike riders have to stop. Even pedestrians can't cross the street," Schwartz said."There's no escaping presidential gridlock."Thursday and Friday are also considered Gridlock Alert Days.
