The Truck Can’t Stop Here

Mayor de Blasio revealed his new plan to reduced congestion in the city.  The congestion–reduction pilot program will determine when and where commercial vehicles can stop and unload goods.  The rush hour from 7am -10am and 4pm-7pm ban will include 11 Midtown cross streets.  Some business owners are saying the new change will hurt them, it would force them to stay after hours just to receive deliveries.

De Blasio will be hiring more officers just to enforce motorist from blocking the box. He did not provide how much extra revenue the city will generate from this program.

Please keep in mind that a summons issued by an officer carries points so be careful and if you do receive a summons for blocking intersection, cell phone or any other moving violations, please call us at 212-227-9008 or email us at michaelblock.law@gmail.com
