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.

This may just be the saddest thing you have heard all day. After a century of poaching fueled by a false belief in the magical medical qualities of a ground up Rhinoceros horn, the world-wide count of the Northern White Rhino is down to only three—one male, and two females—but they are unable to reproduce. To honor the last ever Northern White Rhinos that will exist on this Earth, artists Gillie and Marc Schattner have created a massive 17-foot-tall bronze sculpture of their likenesses stacked together. See the statue at Astor Place in Manhattan on March 15th and shed a tear for their species.
