The truck is unloading Lucky Lager Beer. As far as the safety zone is concerned you should also take into consideration that there is not much alternative to loading in the middle of the lanes. You are supposed to enter the zone from the crosswalk (who does that) when the street car is there not when it is down the block. I used to sell newspapers from those zones sometimes, I preferred corners but you take what they tell you. Traffic then was slower and more cars which slowed the cars even more. Coppers always insisted I "get out of the street". I never had a close call, maybe I was lucky.
