What’s exactly the problem? Doesn’t look like gridlock on the adjacent street. Traffic is shit and yes, fuck cars, but Manhattan is one of the best cities in the world imho
Blocking the box. The car entered the intersection without being able to exit it and now cross traffic is blocked even though they have the light. This can cause cascading delays as it backs up going the other way.
As someone whose family member is in a wheelchair and already has trouble crossing in the allotted time in NYC because of all the uneven pavement and crap curbcuts, it's nigh impossible when the cars crunch into the crosswalk all helter-skelter like that.
They're blocking the crosswalk?
I guess I’m just used to this kinda nonsense in NYC. OP is clearly crossing anyway?
Yeah but having to squeeze through a tiny gap which makes it hard for all pedestrians to cross in the time allotted.
Pedestrians should have priority over cars.
Imagine trying to use the bicycle path there...
Or being disabled.
Typical yank
Utterly incapable of seeing the point in not being a selfish cunt
Hey with all due respect, go fist yourself.
Seriously though I take the point—things could be somewhat better.
To be honest current America is like this. No. Not all Americans are. I know. But blame Trump. Not those hating on America's actions as a state.
