Take on the turn only lane

Much of Manhattan has incorporated these turn only lanes off of the avenues to go down side streets which certainly helps ease traffic going north and south. But what is inexplicable is how often you catch an NYPD car parked in one of these lanes which means that if you want to turn off of the avenue you actually have to merge back into the main traffic and then pull around the cop car to make your turn. I am sure there is some (bullshit) reason for a cop car to be parked right in front of Show-world at 8:30am while both cops chat on cell phones but I have to say to Bill Bratton that his new "sit and surf" policy sucks. I'd much appreciate some good old "walk and look" or some "observe and bust" or maybe some "direct and traffic" as their go-to police work because this sitting in a heated car causing a backup on 8th avenue a mile deep is a total sham

So Bill, get your cops doing..you know...cop stuff instead of checking on their fantasy basketball teams.
