Is it legal to back in this way?

Just like most people mentioned, it's not you fault that city let shipper or receiver build a stupid set up that you have to block entire road to get in .Locals can complain to city or cops, but not to you

 

I've never even thought about what a cop might think when I'm backing in to a tight dock blocking a road. I'm always thinking about that first or second car staring at their phone instead of seeing me blocking their path. The public just doesn't see driving as the priority these days while they're driving. It's epidemic.

 

We all do it, but I doubt it would be considered legal if something happened.
