    This truck parked right on the corner of 16th and Trenton drives me utterly crazy.

    It makes heading east lethal - you can\'t see anything at all until you\'re in the middle of the street for oncoming traffic.

    The design of the street makes it worse, as the \"stop\" sign is set back.

    I think it\'s parked legally, sadly. If only it wasn\'t *always* parked *right next* to the junction, it wouldn\'t be so bad :(

  2. To save money on signs it seems there does not seem to be any enforcement if indeed there is any regulation concerning how close one can park a vehicle to corner with a two way stop sign or even the intersection of a traffic circle.
    34th and Morgan is another where construction workers with trucks that need ladders to get into the cab, have made a habit to park. You cannot see either direction most days.

  3. I agree...this truck is a traffic hazard. I can\'t imagine it is legal for a truck of that height to be parked that close to the intersection.

    You probably won\'t get any cooperation from the family that is attached to it. Lots of drinking, partying all hours of the night, etc......It\'s the work truck of one of the guys that lives there.

    I agree with the traffic hazard it presents.

  5. Does it have a \"How\'s my driving\" sticker on it ? I bet a couple of calls to that number would get the issue resoved.

    I *hate* that truck being parked there... It is such a hazard at the intersection.

    I actually called the southwest precinct about it a couple of weeks ago and they were less than helpful because it isn\'t illegally parked. :/
