95th Street runs from Riverside Drive, overlooking the Hudson River, to the East River, through the New York City borough of Manhattan. It traverses the neighborhoods of Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Carnegie Hill, and Yorkville; the street is interrupted by Central Park.
As an odd-numbered street, most of 95th Street handles westbound automotive traffic. However, it has eastbound traffic between Amsterdam Avenue and its western terminus, facilitating traffic exiting the Henry Hudson Parkway (NY 9A) at exit 11.
