    NYPD used to be super strict about ticketing for “blocking the box”. Like it was their favorite thing to do. I know it’s usually worse in midtown but I guess they’ve fallen off.

        Ironic given that the NYPD has a larger budget than what most countries spend on their military.

        Huh, as a visitor I always had a different opinion about NYC traffic but I’m probably not really seeing it. They had “don’t block the box” for years, it’s not like speeding is even possible most of the time, and there are so many people that you can’t help but deal with them

      I’ve been in two taxis that have gotten tickets for blocking the box in NYC 10-15 years ago. I guess I was surprised to see this tolerated.
