I know it's frustrating, but I always try to play devils advocate w/ delivery driver parking. We all order shit online. We all want it to get delivered to us as quickly as possible. Now imagine how long it would take if a delivery driver had to find a 100% legal parking spot for every single stop he or she needed to make... It's just not realistic.

If we want convenience, we need to build the infrastructure for it, not make the roads less safe for everyone.

It's not the delivery drivers, is the miles of subsidized street parking that's the problem

So let's just allow massive companies to profit even more by not ticketing their trucks, right?
NYC tickets the shit out of delivery trucks, and doesn't have this kind of problem. Somehow, New Yorkers manage to get their goods anyway.

Where did I once mention exempting delivery drivers from receiving tickets?

Right, and I get that. But I'm talking specifically when there is a wide open spot to park into, like 3 car lengths or more. I have never seen a delivery truck use it.

Bc they don’t have time for that or to get stuck in a parking spot bc someone comes up from behind them and boxes them in.
