Couldn't tell if it was a tow truck or a flatbed with a rolloff dumpster

Whoever @mbta.com worked on this needs to know that it absolutely rules. Wish we'd gotten it sooner, but at least we got it now.

Just another day in a north american city withiut a trailer ban or at least an >40' ban.

@mayorwu.boston.gov please
Image of a truck with cab out front and long trailer stopped in the Downtown Crossing pedestrian area. Half of the trailer's wheels are on the sidewalk at a corner, indicating it is too large to make the turn the driver tried to make. Image of truck cab in the middle of Washington Street in downtown Boston, MA with its driver side door left open and the trailer at an approximately 80 degree angle from the cab. A CVS Health truck trailer with half its wheels on the sidewalk is stuck on a corner at a Downtown Crossing intersection.

@mayorwu.boston.gov took the separation out of bike lane buffers like this one here. And the driver of a giant suburban land yacht honked at me while driving directly through the buffer and bike lane to make a right while I was slowing to a stop for a red light.

Photo looking head on at a bike lane, buffer, and right turn lane. The buffer has no flexposts or barriers in it to separate drivers and people biking.
