Mind the gap!

A misguided motorist attempted to go down a pedestrian walkway across the Pulaski Bridge early Thursday — and got stuck between protective dividers.

The abandoned black Honda Accord was found wedged in one of the protected lanes of the bridge that connects Brooklyn to Queens following a 911 call just before 3 a.m., cops say.

A worker who only gave the name Rob told The Post he assumed “somebody had one too many” when he saw it stuck tight — a response shared by online commentators who quickly joked about the unusual traffic jam.

The so-far unidentified driver is assumed to have escaped through a window as the car was jammed so tight in the Queens’ side of the walkway that it would have been impossible to open a door.

At least seven officers from the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit were later filmed by WABC still trying to work out how to free the car, which had a smashed front windshield as it blocked the Brooklyn-bound lane.

A tow truck finally managed to back far enough into the Long Island City entrance to heave the car back out the way it had gone in, the station’s footage showed.

The badly mangled Honda, with a disabled badge on its license plate, was finally removed just before 9 a.m. — almost six hours after the initial 911 call.

Police were still investigating how the car got there. The bike lanes next to it have bollards to stop vehicles, whereas the far-wider pedestrian entrance has nothing but a curb to drive over.

There were no reported injuries and no arrests as of early Thursday, police said.

Records show no open traffic violations for the plate affixed to the car, and it appears to have had only one before — for failing to display a parking meter ticket in 2014.

The mishap sparked astonishment from normally jaded New York commuters.

“That’s crazy that he made it this far up here,” said a woman walking across the bridge who only gave the name Z. Henry. “For a pedestrian, it’s very frightful — someone could have been struck.”

“How is that even possible?” asked student Catherine Chojnowski as she walked across the bridge after the car was removed.

“In New York, you’re kind of used to seeing car parts on the ground, but this is very strange.”

She said that “getting on the bridge is kind of confusing,” saying, “There should be barricades there so that people don’t make that mistake.”

Stevie Piervincent, who lives next to the span, joked that he thought it was just someone who “had a bad Christmas” was taking out their rage.

A worker who only gave the name Rob said he assumed “somebody had one too many” when he saw it stuck tight.

It’s not the first time a car has picked the wrong lane on the bridge. Three years ago, bicyclist Steven Stones filmed a Volkswagen sedan barreling toward him in the bike lane, according to footage he shared with NBC. That time, the driver seemed to make it all the way to the end of the path in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
