Illegal semi-trailer snarls Brooklyn Heights intersection for hours
Oversized trucks have plagued the narrow streets of the Heights for years, blocking emergency vehicles and damaging parked cars.

Can someone help me figure out if this is an @illegal53nyc.bsky.social ???? NYPD keeps saying it’s complicated.
This @illegal53nyc.bsky.social not legal anywhere in the city - except the highway to and from the airport -but there it is turning off a truck route
How do you know it’s an @illegal53nyc.bsky.social on 9th Ave? The 53 is literally labeled right there. Let’s see if @mayor.nyc.gov is willing to step up enforcing truck regulations.
So according to @gothamist.com this person was killed by the driver of an @illegal53nyc.bsky.social
Boba Cyclist 정@bobacyclist.bsky.social · 11mo ago“I didn’t know I hit anyone” and a dismissive shrug are acceptable excuses for killing someone in NYC— as long as the murder weapon is your vehicle. This is a grave, callous injustice.
Still no meaningful effort from NYC to address over-length 53’ trailers in midtown
You can easily count the violations, but somehow NYPD rarely sees them
Miser@misernyc.bsky.social · last yr.NYC -- where you can still get hit head on by a truck even on a 'bike boulevard'
53' trailers don’t belong in cities. Transfer freight to smaller vehicles at the edge of town. “But that adds cost and time!” Who fucking cares. People’s lives are worth more than your logistics spreadsheet. This is about safety.

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.
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.
Fifty-three foot trailers are explicitly forbidden in NYC. Why can't we stop or ticket them upon entry? S/B on 4th Ave and 9th St in Brooklyn @illegal53nyc.bsky.social @nyc-dot.bsky.social @nyc.streetsblog.org @nypdnews.bsky.social @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social @zellnor.bsky.social
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.
How does tractor trailer parking become such a systemic issue? Lack of enforcement and lack of accountability. Overnight Commercial Parking, Detached Trailer, 53’ Trailer. All easy violations to spot, 10:1 these reports are ignored by NYPD Traffic.
Southeast Queens residents say truckers use their neighborhood as a parking lot
A dead cat, a half jug of what appeared to be urine and piles of garbage lined the street when a reporter visited this week.

Illegal truck on 9th St in Brooklyn. 53' trailers are forbidden on surface roads in NYC. Two whole MTA buses for scale. Seems easy enough to enforce at point of entry and literally not let them in. @illegal53nyc.bsky.social @nyc.streetsblog.org @nycdot.bsky.social @nypd.bsky.social
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
53' trailers are explicitly illegal on NYC streets. Jay Street, Downtown Brooklyn.
Hello 🦋 This is your PSA that 53’ trailers are illegal in NYC
