Every crosswalk along New York's Third Avenue looks like this. This is incredibly frustrating. (cdn.imgchest.com)

What are the laws regarding carrying a hammer 🔨 on your person in public?

What’s exactly the problem? Doesn’t look like gridlock on the adjacent street. Traffic is shit and yes, fuck cars, but Manhattan is one of the best cities in the world imho

    They're blocking the crosswalk?

    I guess I’m just used to this kinda nonsense in NYC. OP is clearly crossing anyway?

    As someone whose family member is in a wheelchair and already has trouble crossing in the allotted time in NYC because of all the uneven pavement and crap curbcuts, it's nigh impossible when the cars crunch into the crosswalk all helter-skelter like that.

    Blocking the box. The car entered the intersection without being able to exit it and now cross traffic is blocked even though they have the light. This can cause cascading delays as it backs up going the other way.

    Utterly incapable of seeing the point in not being a selfish cunt
