Such a frequent violator that you can see em on Google Maps

This Ford Suburban is parked here so much he is regular on street view of Google maps for "9005 56th Ave, Elmhurst, NY 11373". Jaywalking is so common that a jaywalker is also represented on the street view. Three cheers for effective police presence!
Safety hazard due to impairing vision of merging motorists which adds risks to pedestrians and drivers alike. Adjacent to school facility and malls - merging streets carry mall traffic and bleed off from Queens Blvd. 56th ave is the one way street to go to junction blvd to get access to freeway.

What suburban? All I see are two (2) Dodge/Chrysler minivans and... Wait!!! Is that the almighty handicap van????? I think it is!!! Now to the issue of merging traffic blind spots... Like I stated before, the striped lane extends from the tip of that island fifteen or twenty feet away from the island. If you can't see anything from fifteen feet away, I would suggest you DO NOT drive! I've driven down all those roads, I've never had problems with the parked cars or people jaywalking. If you do not have the reflexes you once did, drive slower or stop driving!!! From your picture, where are the peds??? What traffic??? AND on a Sunday?? There has got to be at least another car besides the Honda going towards Queens Blvd.

Just visited google maps, NO OTHER CARS WERE PARKED THERE EXCEPT THE HANDICAP VAN!!! Wait.. I think I see you lurking in the bushes waiting for another car to park there... Nope, just a squirrel...

That's some serious hyperbole there hyall.
Some might even consider it lying.

So far, the only ones that have forwarded epithets and adhominems are those who also encourage, assist and condone organized lawlessness. Wonder who has more credibility?

I just checked google maps myself. The only vehicle parked along the triangle is the green van. hiyall completely fabricated this entire post! What a bunch of #@*%.

The green van is illegally parked btw.

Hiyall: I was just there today and had no problem with the so called blind spot. Do you want to know why? Because there isn't a blind spot. The white line goes out about 15 feet past the sidewalk. The no parking signs should be taken down. there is no safety issue at this corner.

We all know the van is parked there. Why not leave a note on it for the driver/owner stating your displeasure for the audacity he/she has for parking in your private striped area? BTW, take a pic of his/her plaque and post it here.
