Whoever set this ladder up must have been so focused on getting the job done that he or she forgot to follow basic safety procedures. The lack of any sort of barricade to ward off oncoming vehicle traffic is the most glaring safety misstep.

We can’t see what this ladder is being leaned against but we can assume it’s a branch in the tree. Makes you wonder how sturdy the branch is, but even then, the area around the top (and bottom) of a ladder must be clear.

Finally, non-self-supporting ladders, must lean against a wall or other support, and be positioned at such an angle that the horizontal distance from the top support to the foot of the ladder is about 1⁄4 the working length of the ladder.
