Travelers taxiing into the city from La Guardia and Idlewild airports are sometimes dumfounded to find a full-fledged traffic jam of early bird commuters at 6 a.m. But fair officials seem confident that when the new network of roads is in operation, their facilities will be able to handle a traffic-jamless 36,000 people an hour coming...
