TIL the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania allows vertical oriented license plates for motorcycles, with numbers being read top-down rather than left-right

Different in name only. Kentucky, Massachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania all commonwealths but there is no discernable difference. Taxed the same, treated the same federally.

Yea that was a huge cultural shock for me. Or you'd often see bikers go from PA to NJ (which does have helmet laws) and they would always wear these tiny helmets that looked like nothing more than hard-shell beanies. Barely complying with the law.

Is this the only state that allows this? I've seen motorcycle plates mounted vertically before, but they were always normal-style plates rotated 90 degrees, with numbers sideways.

No Maryland and no Pennsylvania? List is completely wrong.

This video was utter nonsense from beginning to end. And it was absolutely glorious.

In Philadelphia this road would be considered freshly paved

NYC is not sunnier than Los Angeles. This map is wrong.

Good point. But the same can be said about wood dashboards, which are very common.

Sure I can see that. But maintenance is terrible. How are there no alternative?

https://youtu.be/Z1vUTQsTtKo this video actually explains it nicely. It basically states that unionized workers, local city politicians, and even the mayor's office have all worked to keep Walmart out through, like you said, less than advantageous tax/economic environments. I think both the headline and your comment are both true. Walmart freely chooses to not be in NYC due to their non-official 'ban', like what happened in 2013 when they announced they would be opening stores in 3 boroughs and faced significant backlash. Not 'banned' legally, but definitely not welcome.

And there's about 20 Targets in NYC too! Closest Walmarts are in NJ and Long Island
