NY 107 & Nicholas Street Intersection in Glen Cove — Live Traffic Webcam

NY 107 — Glen Cove's Main Transportation Artery

New York State Route 107 is the only state highway on Long Island that passes directly through a city. NY 107 crosses Glen Cove from south to north, connecting the coastal city with the rest of Nassau County. The route begins as Hicksville Road in Massapequa, then becomes Broadway, then Cedar Swamp Road, and finally Glen Cove Road — under this name it enters Glen Cove.

The camera is installed on a section that locals call Nassau Expressway. This is a multi-lane road with tram tracks in the middle — a rare configuration for suburban Long Island that indicates high traffic volume on this route.

Nicholas Street crosses NY 107 in the central part of Glen Cove. This is a key intersection for local residents: routes between residential neighborhoods, the commercial zone, and the main highway converge here. The road has left-turn lane markings, indicating active traffic from connecting streets.

The northern terminus of NY 107 is located near Pulaski Street and Pratt Boulevard — this is the part of the city where our camera operates. The road continues as Pratt Boulevard (CR 243), leading to the western neighborhoods of Glen Cove.

Infrastructure Along Nassau Expressway

Dense commercial development is concentrated along NY 107 in Glen Cove. Shops, service centers, restaurants — all are oriented toward the flow of motorists. Parking areas near buildings are almost always full, indicating a high concentration of business activity along this stretch of the highway.

The sidewalks along the road are wide, with trees and pedestrian infrastructure. This is characteristic of Glen Cove — the city maintains a balance between automobile accessibility and pedestrian environment, which is uncommon on Long Island.

Tram Tracks in the Middle of the Road

The tram tracks running down the center of NY 107 are a legacy of Nassau County's public transportation. Although modern bus service has replaced rail transport, the infrastructure remains and affects traffic organization. Turn lanes, traffic signal cycles, and road markings account for the presence of the central tram corridor.

Transportation Significance of NY 107

NY 107 is not just a city street, but an important link in Long Island's transportation network. The route connects to the Long Island Expressway (I-495) at exit 41, providing access to the island's main expressway. This makes NY 107 a key route for commuters traveling from Glen Cove to western counties and New York City.

Historically, the route was designated as county road CR 1 until the mid-1970s, when Nassau County removed county route signs due to new federal standards. After that, the highway received state status as NY 107.

Connections to Other Routes

Along its length, NY 107 intersects with Old Country Road (CR 25), where NY 106 joins it — and both routes run concurrently northward. This interchange in the Jericho area is one of the busiest sections in the northern part of Nassau County.

Also part of the route system is NY 904 (Glen Cove Road) — a four-lane divided highway connecting Glen Cove Road and NY 107 between Greenvale and Glen Head.
