I think the easiest site is in Garden City, Park. They take you on all side streets and the streets seem extra wide without much traffic.
It's mostly side streets but when I took it there the examiner had me go on 3 of the major streets there, Nassau Blvd, Jericho Turnpike and Herricks Rd.
Some of the streets there are kind of narrow compared to many other Nassau neighborhoods. My nephew failed the test there because the examiner had him do a 3 point turn on a street that was narrower than the ones where he was used to practicing and his wheel touched the curb.

Not necessarily--of around 10 people I can think of who took the test there, half passed on the 1st attempt, including me.

190 Broadway, Garden City Park, NY 11040--this is the address for the gym on the south side of the road
The starting point for the test is Broadway and Thorens, on the north side of Broadway right next to a parking lot
What's funny about a person knowing the reason why something was and trying to make something stupid out of it that has nothing to do with this particular discussion, or better yet trying to compare your driving to that of mine and you may have all of about a 10th of my experience and time driving, i probably have more race miles than you have total driving and passenger time...
The op needs more real teaching and understanding, he/she isn't ready for the real world of driving like most of you end of story

This is the problem and HOW you know someone isn't ready to drive....
This is why they're failed...
It shouldn't matter what the roads width or length or whatever it is, if you can't judge the car for that road YOU CAN'T DRIVE ! ! !
Everything changes all the time and YOU need to know what to do ALL the time, which most don't and that is where everyone has no clue
You really might be retarded, in that circumstance i was given a ticket that DID NOT meet the situation, in fact that ticket doesn't exist to this day..
you really have a problem the situation was explained and if you think that cop was right, well then you are as described
I don't know the situation of your "Blocking the Box" ticket but if you were anywhere in the intersection when the light turned red and were unable to proceed you were guilty.
Most places define the intersection(Box) as the area outlined by the wide white stop lines just before the sidewalk.
Literal text:
“operator shall enter an intersection and its crosswalks unless there is sufficient unobstructed space beyond the intersection and its crosswalks in the lane in which he/she is traveling to accommodate the vehicle, notwithstanding any traffic control signal indication to proceed.”

Ordinarily I would agree with you but I can't tell you how many people I know that the last time they parallel parked was for their road test, there are ways to avoid such maneuvers.

It wasn't like that, what happened was the po had his Sargent or lieutenant with him and supposedly he was upset he had to wait another 8 seconds after the dimwit who was in front of me pulled into an empty inter and went all the way to the other side. . . .
1. that was not going thru a red light and was before the block the box law
2. when we entered she was 1st i was second there was no obstructed box until she went beyond the turn...
What happened was she entered drove all the way to the other crosswalk and waited for the traffic to stop, after the light changed to make the turn, blocking us from going around her because she went to the crosswalk, what i never understood was how the po who was 2nd from the light in the north direction came to the conclusion i was the problem...
was a bs call on his part.

Your description is almost impossible to follow but unless you can go ALL the way through the intersection without your forward progress being blocked you do NOT enter the intersection.
If she crossed the intersection and stopped on the other side and you followed behind her you are indeed guilty of "Blocking the box".
