We used to have a used car dealer in town that seemed to specialize in work trucks. He would have a lot of pickups and vans in white or "state highway crew yellow", often with toolboxes, flatbeds, or lift gates.
They closed pre-pandemic, and have not reopened. Their lot is on a corner, and they had huge raw blocks of limestone brought in and placed across the lot so that people could not cut through to avoid the stoplight. Not sure why they cared, but they did.
