I go in the burbs with an OTR truck and 53ft’er often.They don’t enforce it unless you do something that grabs their attention or you’re being a jerk. Many times I’ve double parked and had them walk up to me. I respectfully tell them I’m at the customer and don’t have much of a choice but I’m willing to wiggle around to make it easier for traffic to get thru. If they give me a ticket I take and sign it and give it to my company. Also I should mention when going in NYC ya’ll need to have those tandems on the first hole and mind the swing on tight turns.

3x a week at my Rockefeller center stop we'd get a parking ticket every time. Cost of doing business.

Enforced so little you have groups like this trying to be the neighborhood watch. Same people that will report you for idling -
Was in NYC last Saturday and the best thing about it I was walking.(seeing a play). I said to my wife how it so nice not to be driving. I don't drive in the city anymore what a relief Beep Beep

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten Island prohibits 53 feet trailers via municipal bylaw.
They are part of 5 different counties.
You can get away with a local delivery if you don't stray away more than 1 mile from the Interstate system.
NYC was my playground with a 48 footer from July 2001 to July 2003.
And with a 53 footer from July 2004 to January 2007.
I promised the police officer that I won't come back ever with an illegal length and I kept my word.
Your mileage may vary.
And everyone should make their own assessments and make their own decisions about what they want to do. -
