A slice of life in the time of corona. Thousands of invisible front line workers risk their health every day to bring food to your couch. They aren't just immigrants struggling to survive in New York City. They aren't just the delivery men and women you don't look at when you open your door. They are the backbone of this city, they are the essential. Most importantly, they are people too and they deserve our respect and recognition now more than ever. Tip generously if you'd like and give them PPE if you can.

53-Foot Trailer Trucks are Illegal in NYC. This Twitter Account is Ratting Them All Out

2018-02-15T17:00:00-05:00

NYC Traffic Rule 4-15(j) states that the total length of a trailer truck from front to back should be no longer than 55 feet. Because the front cabs of these trucks are always longer than 2 feet, this means that trailers that have 53 foot long trailer sections are all illegal and should not be on the NYC streets. One citizen vigilante has taken to social media to call out the violators of this traffic rule under the Twitter handles @illegal53NYC and @ConradGangone

It may seem trival and and oddly specific violation to call out, but our small, crowded City streets and tight corners are not setup to handle these large trailers, often leading to damaged vehicles, signs, infrastructure, and even worse, pedestrian and biker injuries and/or casualties.

So big it blocks the whole intersection. @FedEx this vehicle is illegal for use in NYC under NYC Traffic Rule 4-15(j). Cc @NYPDMTS @NYCSpeakerCoJo pic.twitter.com/lecUYJxuhl

2017-12-13T13:30:00-05:00

With the cold beating down on us hard right now in New York City, it is especially hard times for those who spend their days and nights on the City streets. YouTuber Rob Bliss recently had an idea to repurpose the Amazon Prime Now instant delivery service to help deliver needed goods to them in short time.

Note: this video is NOT SPONSORED OR AFFILIATED WITH AMAZON. I'm sure this technique could be used with Postmates or whoever else too. I simply wanted to demonstrate how easy and convenient it can be to bring a person in need, what they need, and to encourage that behavior.
