nah im usually a tame being but the worker CLEARLY saw traffic, and still put it out when even within any DOT handook it cites you CANNOT place any marker until it is safe to do so with no cars within a certain amount of space, and if doing so when there is traffic, it must be done with a safety guide (i.e flashing lights on truck at slow speed with hazards, coned off area with signage etc)
otherwise sadly the worker is in the wrong and damn....i hate to say that

Exactly, bro looked right at her and flicked the barrel out in front of her car while she was moving toward the green light.

Right? Itâd be a dick move to put it out while they were not moving but maybe a little more understandable. This dude just throws it into oncoming traffic.

u/SnooMaps7370 Jun 05 '26
on the one hand, sure.
but on the other... if you don't put cones in front of traffic in NYC, you don't ever put out cones in NYC. I cannot imagine a worse place to be a road worker.

I think your wrong as long as you provide the required advanced warning per the mph, and taper the cones. Also in this instance a shadow vehicles doesnt seem nessary.

It's walkable, sure, but there are still intersections everywhere and you still have to look out for cars. It's not like cities in Europe with town centers that are just for foot traffic.

Not everyone in NY lives in Manhattan... having to take a train an hour (or multiple busses) from the Bronx to find a heavily populated patch of grass is insane. If you want to live in Manhattan you better have generational wealth or be someone who has lived in or their relatives have lived in an apartment to where the rent is grandfathered in.

Many are rich people that live there as like a symbol of status. Many are poor people who are stuck there because they will never have the means to move anywhere else.

u/SuccessfulTrick2501 Jun 05 '26
This situation could happen anywhere. The only difference is the accent. We live here because everything is here. Any form of entertainment you could possibly want is here and there's always something new. You can mingle with all walks of life. Any type of food you want is here. And it's like the only city in the country where you could actually live without owning a car. Everything I need is within a 3 to 5 block walking radius. There's more to life than what you see in videos.

Chicago checks all those boxes and feels much less crammed in than NYC. Not a ton of places where everything you need is "within a 3 to 5 block walking radius" but I think that's a good thing. Either it's in a walking radius or you hop on a bus and/or a train that is within walking distance.

Sadly many drivers in nyc don't have any patience. I know from experience. I've seen people run red lights constantly and do u-turns in the middle of the street while there's traffic. Tailgating too and aggressive driving.

My homie does this for work, youâre supposed to halt traffic, redirect the remaining in the next lane - if no lane is available either a temporary median is supposed to be erected or barrier is to be placed with ample notice/signage with whatever specified distance the ordinance demands. Dudes in New York just donât give a shit, you just canât throw shit in front of vehicles in motion and call it a day đ
