There's no enforcement against truck drivers in the city. They just take whatever route they want. I've seen 53 footers on local streets attempting to make turns down residential one ways. Fuck them.

I've seen an 18 wheel try to turn onto a numbered residential street from an ave, get stuck, and rip 2 parked cars apart backing out. Ave traffic was blocked for like 30+ minutes and people still complain about bikes :/

Taking out parked cars every day trying to turn off narrow one ways. It’s insanity.

Just the other day one had to back out in Astoria cause he tried to turn onto a narrow residential. Cops were right down the block ordering food from the truck without a care.
