Blocking traffic.

Yup. In the city's drive to keep the streets clear for "rush hour" traffic, this tow truck took 5 minutes of blocking all 3 lanes to tow a car yesterday. The owner came running out as I buzzed by on my scooter. There's no stopping the tow truck though.

Just another busy day for towtrucks

Towed away 3 cars in the half hour I was watching. Generally speaking blocked at least 2 and often all 3 of the 3 lanes supposed to be left open for "rush hour" traffic for most of that time.

Keeping the streets clear

The truck is just sitting in the middle of the street waiting for the checker to give tickets. Just sittin' there. Keeping the street clear for rush hour traffic.
