Any idea where this is?

I can't think of any part of either Storrow Drive, Soldiers Field Road, or Memorial Drive with a single lane next to a double-yellow line.

My thoughts

One of the feeder sections, like Nonantum near the boat launch/softball field, or Greenough Blvd. But Street View in sections of those don't give me the yeah-this-is-it feeling.

Nonantum, they recently put those weird streetlights there. Not sure Storrowing would be reason for a stop there, there are no height signs and small trucks like that are allowed to use that road methinks.

Looks like Nonantum Road.

Looks like Nonantum Road. The guardrails are that color.

does that road have low bridges?

or is this just a precuationary stop to tell the driver, "You'd better exit before you get to Market Street" ?

The whole thing is signed as

The whole thing is signed as "No trucks or buses," but you could make it as far as Birmingham Parkway/Market Street before it would be a problem. If it is indeed Nonantum, this truck looks like it's probably heading either to Watertown Square or the Pike via Charlesbank. I could be wrong, but that looks like the river side is on the right.
