This thing is the width of the sidewalk, and construction on the other side of 23rd has closed a full lane and the sidewalk on the other side. Literally the only way around this motherfucker is going in the street.

Are you saying you’ll go into the street into MOVING traffic? Still not comprehending the logic. I suppose crossing the street at a stop sign is equally as dangerous?

Ignoring that you're missing the larger point, 23rd is a one-way southbound — you could step into an empty street going south to get around this jagoff and have someone turn off Cuthbert and hit you from behind without you ever seeing them.

No I understand the “larger point” and its inherently flawed logic. You cross the street in actual traffic at a stop sign and still risk being hit. You’re crossing the street in non-existent traffic to get around a parked car with a risk of being hit. These are no different situations besides a posted sign. Pedestrians always have a right of way granted lawful circumstances.

What the fuck is flawed about "this guy is a fucking asshole and making shit needlessly dangerous by parking on the sidewalk"? Because that's the larger point, not whatever the you're trying to shoehorn in here.

Someone in a wheelchair would have to go all the way from curb cut to curb cut to get around this truck, which likely cannot be done quickly enough to ensure they won’t encounter traffic on the roadway.
