Yeah it's been illegal to just stop your car in the middle of the street and get out and go into a restaurant since streets were invented. No new law's required here.
The question is, why are people suddenly doing this?
- lsllc 3y agoWell quite. But yet you see them stopped all over and the cops don't seem to do anything about it (the cars are not generally stopped for more than 3-5 mins while they pick up, so there's little point in calling the cops, if they'd even bother responding). I get that they're just trying to earn a living and in an urban area it's not always convenient to park. But it's one thing to block a hydrant or park in a place you're not supposed to for a couple of mins and something completely different to just block the (only!) travel lane and bring traffic to a standstill. Usually I just lean on the horn until either they come out, or I can get by. It's getting ridiculous ...
