What hours are automobiles prohibited in Central Park during week days? Mind you, the parks people tend to assume that no one is around during those hours, so be careful passing ANY maintenance truck at those times.

The Central Park drives will remain open on weekdays beginning Monday, November 24, through December 31. The NYC Department of Transportation has implemented this policy to alleviate traffic congestion on the streets surrounding Central Park during the holiday season.

The drives will be closed to automobile traffic at 7:00 p.m. the day before Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day, and reopen the day after these holidays at 6:00 a.m. The drives will also be closed on weekends, closing Fridays at 7:00 p.m. and reopening Mondays at 6:00 a.m."
