A 10% reduction in trailer length (for those that don't already comply with the law) will magically 3x grocery bills?? We have vehicle length restrictions because it's a safety issue in an urban setting like NYC. It's not optional. x.com/Bigdaddystep53…

Yup. It's an illegal 53' trailer.

We shouldn't have to "share" the road with vehicles that are not supposed to be there Chief of Transportation - enforce rules on truck routes and enforce length restrictions. Period. x.com/NYPDTransport/…

This 53’ tractor trailer tried to make a tight nyc turn and now is stranded ☹️😒 Drivers, busses, pedestrians all in Mayhem on one of PLG’s busiest intersections. Just another reason why these vehicles are *illegal* in NYC

Sorry for the lack of Illegal 53' Tractor Trailer content as of late; tweetdeck changes have made that harder to manage.

Illegal 53' Tractor Trailer sure looks like two 53's on 47 btwn 8th and Broadway...come on nyc

We will be watching open data to see how this plays out. The city estimated"18,000" overweight vehicles *a day* used this segment before pandemic. At $650 a pop that's $4.2 billion in fines a year (assuming drivers didn't change behavior) gothamist.com/news/nyc-launc…

And yet this problem exists in part because Chief of Transportation and all of NYPD combined can only manage on average one ticket a day for Illegal 53' Tractor Trailer Their own data shows only 122 over-length summonses issued in the first 6 months of 2023.

Hi Jo Anne Simon 文雅麗 🟧 can you provide an update on legislation authorizing/requiring automated enforcement of over-length vehicles?

Somehow missing from the violations issued to this tractor trailer stuck in the tunnel: over-length violation. nydailynews.com/2023/09/28/tru…

Always Illegal 53' Tractor Trailer too

Good, but there are still detached trailers illegally parked in your “after” photo.

Illegal 53' trailers are common to spot on every avenue, including 9th Ave. Why can't NYPD ever spot them?

Incredibly normal morning at the corner of Ocean Parkway and Church Avenue, where a massive 53 foot truck seemingly rear ended an express bus and snarled traffic for hours. People are driving onto the sidewalk and mixed use path to complete the turn onto Ocean Parkway

Another 53’ trailer that isn’t allowed in NYC anywhere

Ahh yes. 9th Ave definitely is on the list of highways to and from the Airport where 53’ trailers are allowed.

Hey Walmart it is illegal to drive 53’ trailers in NYC

Stuck in gridlock on 11th Ave.? Blame the illegal 53 foot trailer trying to drive across 46 street.

An Illegal 53' Tractor Trailer that’s more important to the mayor than safe streets
