Yesterday I came across this small predicament. A truck had attempted to drive through an underpass towards a park and got stuck. Naturally I did what we do in the digital age – I took pictures.
The situation reminded me of the stories told about the New York city planner Robert Moses who was accused of purposely making underpasses to parks too low for busses to access and therefore reserving the parks for those who could afford cars. This structural discrimination of the poor and racial minorities has been disputed but the fact remains that low bridges do prevent busses but allow cars to pass.
For those of you who are politically inclined you may want to see this as a political metaphor since the van is actually labelled with the markings of a political party and was probably going to be used to spread political information about the upcoming Swedish Genereal Election.
