An unpermitted cement mixer, over the weight limit for Stanley Hills Drive, is illegally stopped on a red curb. Combined with the illegally parked contractor cars, the crew created a gridlocked situation where all emergency access to the neighborhood was blocked for around 20 minutes.

Note that there were two flagmen, but that they were completely unable to prevent the jam.

LAPD responded to the scene, but after the pour had finished. The responding officer confirmed that the crew should have used a smaller cement truck to transport the material in... one that conformed to the weight limit on the street. They also should have obtained permits to close one of the lanes of the street.
