Hello,
I'm a bicyclist in Washington DC. I commute to work using our Bike Lanes daily. I asked one of your drivers once why UPS is the #1 (in my experience) offender of parking (illegally) blocking the Bike Lane... and he answered that it was against company policy to pull all the way over to the curb! I cannot imagine this is true, but I've seen enough trucks parked blocking the bike lane with 3-4 feet of space between the vehicle and the curb, that it must at least be a culturally acceptable practice within UPS to place the convenience of the UPS driver above the safety of cyclists and other drivers. What is the company policy regarding where it is acceptable to park?
