Local streets around here have signs banning through trucks. The only reason huge box trucks or semis can drive in is to deliver to a house. We live in a blue collar lower middle class neighborhood. The regulations in more hi tone neighborhoods are stricter.
If however a major accident happens on the main drag, a few blocks away the big rigs and everyone else is routed down my block. We know if there has been a nasty crash if the traffic gets heavy.
Well, I’ve lived in the narrow streets of Manhattan (double and triple parking, garbage trucks, delivery trucks, buses and fire engines thundering through). So,I don’t feel a bit sorry for Boris Karloff...er, I mean Jeremy Irons.
