Still no meaningful effort from NYC to address over-length 53’ trailers in midtown

Did a tour of the USS New York today and definitely tried to ignore the illegal 53’ trailers illegally used to restock the cruise ship docked on the other side of the pier.

Apparently this is one of the many spots in the city you can just watch them go by all day.

Illegal 53’ - Atlantic Ave and Hicks St edition.

I’m just trying to enjoy some coffee. Why do things like this find me and distract me??

We thank Council Member Holden for asking NYPD Traffic about the high frequently of Illegal 53 tractor trailers in NYC and lack of enforcement.

(NYPD Declined to answer his question on quantity of over-length enforcement)

The legal limit is 55’ bumper to bumper. 53’ trailers like this one are also illegal for deliveries citywide.

Yes we have heard the argument that these private companies using illegal 53’ trailers making deliveries to USPS are exempt from state law, but they are not.

Several problems at once on 44th St. illegal 53 foot trailer stuck behind double parked cars off of the truck route.

So many things NYPD could enforce but it chooses not to enforce any of them.

Hello to everyone that rides around on 16 fewer wheels than this over length tractor trailer on 9th Ave yesterday.

Good morning to everyone that thinks deliveries to Javits Center should use a legal vehicle, not a 53’ over-length-limit trailer

Hello 🦋

This is your PSA that 53’ trailers are illegal in NYC
