I work in Plaquemine and live in Geismar, and have taken the ferry maybe 100 times in my life. Of all things to bitch about to the DOTD, this is a non-issue.

As previously stated, the deck hands physically point and direct the trucks to do what you're talking about. The ones who do it on their own are doing it because they know what to do from having been told to do it before.

Putting trucks in those stalls solves 2 issues.
1. It maximizes space like Martini so eloquently explained.
2. Cars have a much tighter turning radius so they can much more easily maneuver around the tower without having to make a 3 point turn which would make loading/unloading time longer (which the OP would cry like a little bitch about if he had to endure that also)

All in all the OP is a complete and total pussy and is an embarrassment to his family.

When I go back home to visit I always go down the bayou to the camp boat for at least one night and use the ferry just because.

I didn't say to change a thing except let the majority off first and then allow stall parkers even move room to back out and leave.

Its like an airplane....they allow the elderly and people with children to board first....but then they let everyone off first before assisting the disabled off.

It's efficientcy, are you people unable to understand this?

The real question is why in 2017 are some areas still using ferries? Build a damn bridge

Chill with the rhetoric. People actually have to use your statement in deadly situations. Don't make light of it due to parking on a freaking ferry.

If worrying about where you park and when you get off of the ferry is your biggest problem, I'm jealous.

I'm gonna start using this ferry even though it's nowhere near where I drive
I don't want to miss the fun when this putz finally snaps and starts a ruckus at 5 in the morning

If there was no incentive to park there, no one would?

And that would decrease capacity by 6?
