The truck rear end was parked in the pedestrian crosswalk, the truck rear lift gate was lowered and blocking the crosswalk---forcing pedestrian to walk out beyond the painted crosswalk, and finally can you see the corner signal lights!
The time was 8:38 a.m. and no police or parking enforcements within sight, even though the City's Central Police Station is next block over at 766 Vallejo Street. The driver must have known about how lax the enforcements are in Chinatown or maybe he just did not care. If he gets a ticket, his company would paid it, because its just additional costs of doing business in San Francisco.
I crossed Broadway and took the following picture...
Just my lucky day, the silver sedan driving south on Stockton Street making a left turn onto Broadway. What's wrong? All four intersection have signs posted "NO LEFT TURN." This driver either did not see the posted sign right above the signal lights, or was too focus on the pedestrians crossing the street. The Wizard surmised the sedan driver just did not care---it is much convenient to turn left then loop around the block!
The Wizard surmised the truck driver did not care either...
In front of the truck was several empty parking spaces, the truck driver rather park by the corner; to unload his supplies for the store across the street. Why? The driver was just plain LAZY! The look and on the mind of the bicyclist as he watch the sedan making the illegal left turn---where the cops when you really need them?
