    A Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman says 19-year-old Bruce Lee was stopped Tuesday evening after he peddled into the tunnel, which connects Manhattan and New Jersey.

    The Staten Island man told police that he was directed into the tunnel under the Hudson River by the Waze app on his phone.

    He was arrested on charges of trespass and criminal possession of a weapon after a dagger was found in his possession. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had a lawyer who could comment.

    Waze has become terrible recently. Google maps is way to go! Funny thing is that google owns waze…. as they bought it out from an israeli company a few years ago

    The story is hard to understand. Was he making a delivery to New Jersey, that the app would tell him to go through the tunnel? Also, while it may be impossible to safely stop a car and back up, it should be easy while riding a bicycle to recognize that there is a tunnel ahead and to stop and turn around.

    Lastly, why would Bruce Lee carry a dagger? Nunchaku, I could understand, but a dagger?

    I have zero sympathy for this character; motorists depend too much on these GPS devices which are wrong in many cases. Even Mapquest, which gives routing directions, at times makes errors, and directs motorists the wrong way.
