From the Niagara Falls Review:
The Niagara Parkway and streets in the city’s tourist zones turned into parking lots on the weekend, as out of town visitors flocked to the Honeymoon Capital of the World.
During a call in to a local radio station Monday morning, Mayor Ted Salci addressed concerns the traffic chaos was caused, in part, by discourteous drivers who tried to run through yellow lights and then blocked up intersections.
Salci pointed out police were on point duty at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Centre Street at the top of Clifton Hill, but traffic was congested in several parts of the city.
Locals were able to use other routes to get around, as were emergency services vehicles, but tourists stuck to the direct route towards attractions and hotels, snarling traffic in those sections of town.
