This is not out in some rural town. This is in Portland, OR about 2 miles from downtown. Personal vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living and pressure their owners to continually break traffic law. Technically that Miata is parked as close to the stop sign as it can legally be, but as the Denali doesn’t fit in many places around here it’s owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.
Follow up: To whatever bootlicking idiot called PBOT and asked for enforcement on this block, it didn’t help. It made things worse just like I cautioned such actions do in the discussion below. They didn’t ticket the truck (Which was indeed parking in front of the stop sign this morning) but they did ticket just about every-other car parked on this street for non-street safety related things like parked wrong orientation, literal broken window, expired registration, etc. You probably cost my neighbors a few thousand dollars in combined citations for minor procedural issues, now everybody is miserable and the truck is still parked there. Please, never ever do that again. Your fantasy of calling law enforcement to fix all the problems is not what happens in real life. It doesn’t matter who they are, NEVER CALL THE COPS ON YOUR NEIGHBORS.
I was sitting outside a restaurant eating breakfast the other day, a man was there with a small but rotund elderly woman who seemed to be his mother. They got up to leave and lo and behold, they head for the lifted Denali parked in the nearby handicap spot. Dude opens the passenger door and pulls out a legit, three step ladder and helps his mother climb up with great difficulty for both parties involved. I would have expected some cursing and complaining from the lady, about what a stupid truck that was and how she cannot possibly be expected climb into this absurd vehicle. But she looked fine. Used to it.
Appreciate you answering my unasked question
