I had an epiphany about backing up a tractor-trailer on a city street

you can do as you wish.
I would sit there until he moves out of the way. Since he is in the wrong place.

 

Is this the intersection ? Well that guy is an idiot if he's trying to get out the entrance there.. he is going to be backing up whether he likes it or not.

maybe this is just me personally , but i would probably not be pulling all the way to the end of that turn lane in the first place. Knowing that someone is probably dumb enough to come out the driveway at some point

 

I assume this is the south pilot, not the north pilot.

Which one?

This is stupid, it is really simple, YOU DO NOT BACK UP!

YOU NEVER EVER BACK UP.

if the guy is coming out of the entrance instead of the exit, he needs to move back to give you room, not the other way around.

Like I said this is the south pilot, which has an entrance and an exit, the north one has one for both.

if you were my driver, I would possibly fire you.

edit - by the way, the other drivers has room to make a right out of the entrance.

 

I go to places I never been to, everyday. I have a 300" wb truck with a 48ft spread axle and run it down into the small streets of East Los Angeles and South central/long beach every single week.. almost every turn I have to make I have to split 2 or 3 lanes, take out turn lanes, wait for people to move out of the way... it's part of driving a truck . I very rarely hop a curb. I am no supertrucker either, just trying to do my best i can with what i have to work with.
Sit and wait for someone to move if i need more room
It happens every. Single. Day It's not rocket science. After awhile you will see what's gonna happen before it does and u can adjust. Don't put yourself in a bad position trying to be nice guy.
