The 20 Worst American Cities To Own A Pickup Truck

Your Truck Is More Trouble Than It's Worth Pickup trucks are on practically every street…but should they be? Though the average American gets a lot of use out of them, trying to navigate congested streets or literal uphill battles in one isn’t always easy. From strict parking regulations to historic neighborhoods that weren't designed for oversized vehicles, these 20 cities can make pickup ownership look way less appealing. 1. New York City, New York Finding somewhere to park a full-size pickup in Manhattan? Right, good luck to you! Parking garages in and around the city also have height restrictions, and crowded streets leave little room for maneuvering. New York also has additional parking restrictions for commercially registered vehicles, meaning you need to do some serious homework about how your vehicle’s actually classified. 2. San Francisco, California San Francisco's famously steep hills can make driving a large pickup something of a nightmare, especially in tight intersections or parking along an incline. Parking doesn’t make things any easier. The city's rules also require drivers to curb their wheels on sufficiently steep grades, adding another consideration when leaving your vehicle unattended. 3. Boston, Massachusetts Boston's historic layout might be fun on the outside,

My city turned public curb parking into EV-only spots. Can gas cars be excluded from street parking like that?

Just When You Thought Finding Parking Couldn't Get Worse Circling the block looking for street parking will already set you on edge, so finally finding an empty space and realizing only electric cars can park there could set anyone off. But can a city really turn public curb parking into EV-only space and keep everyone else out like that? Factinate They Sure Can In most places, yes, they can absolutely create EV-only parking spaces. Cities usually have broad power to manage curb space for specific public uses, including loading zones, bus stops, accessible parking, carshare spaces, and now EV charging. Whether a gas car can be ticketed or towed from one of those spaces depends on state law, local rules, and the exact wording on the sign. The Curb Is Not A Free-For-All Public curb parking may feel like shared space, but legally it is regulated. Cities regularly set aside curb areas for deliveries, street sweeping, snow emergencies, taxis, transit, and disabled parking. EV-only spaces fall into that same long-standing pattern of cities deciding who can use a street space and when. richardfoulon, Pixabay What Usually Makes EV-Only Rules Legal The legal point is not that EVs get special treatment

MTA saw record-high ridership over Halloween, marathon weekend in NYC — but straphangers have complaints

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority saw a record-breaking surge of riders over Halloween and New York City Marathon weekend — but many fed-up straphangers complained of dangerously crowded platforms and lengthy delays. Some 3.14 million riders took the subway Sunday, marking an all-time ridership high for the first day of the week and shattering last year’s record by 11%, Governor Kathy Hochul and the MTA announced Monday. Similarly, the day before, on Halloween, straphangers smashed the previous post-pandemic Saturday record with 3.59 million riders, marking the most on a single Saturday since 2016. Roughly 3.59 million straphangers rode the subway on Halloween Saturday.
