There has been a tidal wave of questions about an NYC parking ticket for “no standing-bus stop”
- Can I be issued an NYC parking ticket when I only stopped in a bus stop zone to drop off or pick up a passenger?
- How do I know the length of a bus stop?
- Can I look for a yellow-painted curb to show the length of a bus stop zone?
- How much does a bus stop ticket cost? $115!
The NYC bus stop parking rule
Violation Code (VC) 19 prohibits:
Bus Stop: Standing or parking where standing is prohibited by sign, street marking, or; traffic control device.
Traffic Rules, Chapter 4-08(c)(3) states:
No person shall stand or park a vehicle other than an authorized bus in its assigned bus stop when any such stop has been officially designated and appropriately posted except that the operator of a vehicle may temporarily stand therein for the purpose of expeditiously receiving and discharging passengers provided such standing does not interfere with any bus about to enter or leave such zone
Like all parking rules, learning the bus stop rule and defense takes relentless repetition.
A bus stop in NYC can cause some pain in the pocketbook. I urge you to avoid stopping in a bus stop zone when possible
If you have 50 seconds, this valuable video will help bake the bus stop rule and defense into your brain.
Enjoy!
Commentary
Here’s my take on the subject:
- But stop tickets are tough parking tickets to beat because they are difficult to prove that you weren’t waiting to pick up a passenger or stopped too long in a bus stop zone after dropping off your passenger.
- Don’t expect to find a yellow curb to show a bus stop zone. That would be too easy
- The parking signs on the block hold the secret to the length of a bus stop zone. There must be at least one official NYC parking sign that designates the beginning of a bus stop zone, with an arrow indicating the direction(s) of the bus stop zone.
- There does not have to be a second bus stop sign to show the end of the bus stop zone. If there is not a second parking sign anywhere on the block in the direction of the arrow(s) on the bus stop sign, the bus stop zone ends at the corner.
- The bus stop sign regulates the part of the block in the direction of the arrow until the next NYC parking sign. The bus stop zone ends at the next NYC parking sign.
- If the one official bus stop sign has arrows pointing in both directions, then the bus stop zone goes in both directions until you reach another NYC parking sign or the end of the block.
[Editor’s note: NYC buses are 40-45 feet in length]
Hi,
I got a bus zone parking ticket even though the beginning of the bus zone was not marked with an arrow (or at all) the bus stop was at the end of the block which I was able to see but in my estimation I seemed to be far enough away from the bus stop. The main thing was that there was no indicator at all where the bus stop began. Is the law very clear that there MUST be a sign indicating where the bus stop zone begins? Or is it just a courtesy to have a sign with the arrow pointing towards the bus stop and not a valid defense?
Asher,
Good afternoon.
A bus stop zone begins at the bus stop sign and extends in the direction of the arrow(s) on the bus stop sign…That is the law, period. No sign, no arrow, no parking ticket.

Hi Larry,
I wrote a reply about this concern earlier today. Can you please provide a source from NYC regulations, something official that I can attach to my defense of a bus stop parking ticket? There was another sign where I parked behind that was for alternate parking (street sweep), which I feel marks the end of the bus stop. How can it alternate, if one can never park there?
Hi, Michael,
See my reply to your other comment.
Good luck.

Larry
Hi my house is next to the bus stop, we live here for seven years. The bus stop sign is between my house and my neighbor house. There is no (no parking) sign. We always parked one of our cars in front of the house, however, this year on fathers day, my husband got a (bus zone ticket). I did an appeal online. I send pictures that there no (no parking) sign and that we din’t block the yellow curb. Today I got a later that we have to pay it that my husband is guilty. Can you tel me what I have to do now?
Hi Oleksandr,
Good morning
Sorry to learn about your bus stop parking pain.
You have the right to appeal the evil decision within 30-days of the entry (not your receipt. Check out the date under the Judge’s signature). Your burden of proof is to persuade the Appeals Panel that the original judge made a mistake of law or fact based on the evidence you submitted. You are not permitted to offer additional evidence on appeal.
FYI-The bus stop sign is considered a no standing sign. There is no need for an additional no parking sign (Sorry!).
Regards,
Larry
Hello,
Thank you for the informative article above. To clarify, the stop ends at whatever the next NYC parking sign is? For example if there is a bus stop on a street corner with the small no standing sign (no arrows as it is at a corner) within the circular bus stop sign, and a distance from that sign untill the next sign, then THAT is the no standing zone? Even if the next sign is a no parking street cleaning sign that is not relevant on that day?
Many thanks,
Matt
Hey Matt,
Yes.
Well said.
By the way, when there are no arrows on any parking sign, it means BOTH DIRECTIONS. Yikes!
Good luck with the neighbor space taker.
Best,
Larry
So if a bus stop sign has no arrows, it extends both ways? Or it MUST have at least one arrow? Thanks!
Hi, Jim,
Good afternoon. Great question.
No arrows mean, both ways.
Park safely.
Regards,
Larry
in front of the school where i drop off my daughter and wife it says no parking between 7am-6pm.a cop told me i can’t park here but afterschool there is a line of cars parked here to pick up their kids and they are parked there for 15 -20 mins maybe more.also why is a bus stop called a no standing zone if you have to be standing to wait for the bus?makes no sense.there is a small bus stop area in front of the elementary where the big kids wait for the bus.i will park there to drop off my 4 year old and my wife who walks her to class.she comes back to the car in less than 2 mins.hopefully i wont get a ticket parking in that bus zone.
Joe,
Good morning.
Thanks for sharing your insightful insights.
Enjoyed reading ’em.
Good luck with your personal bus stop travails.
Let me know how you’re surviving in the evil bus stop zone.

Larry with the WIN!
Good Morning,
Thank you so much for the information above, it’s been very helpful! I just wanted to ask what statute/admin code/ordinance specifically states that if a no parking sign has an arrow pointing through the corner, then the bus stop continues through the corner? It would really help me out to be able to cite to some authority.
Thanks again!!
Best,
Garrett
Dear Garrett,
Good afternoon.
Check out this GUIDE under almost any violation code where a parking sign is involved…
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dof/downloads/pdf/translations/got_tickets_english.pdf
“A parking zone begins at the
posted sign and continues in the
direction of the arrow to the next
posted sign or to the corner of
the block.”
Good luck.
Best,
Larry
PS…Thank you for the very kind words. Means a lot to me.
Hi Larry, I see that you indicate several times in your articles that a “Bus Stop zone begins at the
posted sign and continues in the
direction of the arrow to the next
posted sign or to the corner of
the block.” Could you please site the source law for this? I really want to use this in my defense, but cannot find this description anywhere?
Hi, Michael,
Good afternoon.
The rule for a bus stop sign is the same rule for all parking signs in NYC.
“A parking zone begins at the parking sign and continues in the direction of the arrow until the next posted sign or the corner of the block”
Here’s the link at page 4
This is the first thing they teach judges in judge school so, it really isn’t necessary to cite the source when referring to this rule.
Good luck.
Regards,
Larry
Thank you so much Larry! I will hopefully not need your help again in the future, but you certainly have helped me this time. Much appreciated!
Hello I got a ticket for dropping off a passenger in a bus stop does it carry points
Hi, Shenoda,
There are no points for a bus stop ticket. But you are permitted to stop temporarily to expeditiously drop off or pick up a passenger in a bus stop zone, as long as you:
-Leave immediately
-Don’t block a bus from entering or exiting a bus stop zone
Good luck.
Regards,
Larry
Larry,
Thank you for the great information. I received a ticket for parking in a bus stop. The stop began at the corner and the next street sign was a no parking for street cleaning. In between the corner/bus stop sign and the street cleaning sign there is a private driveway. I parked on the far side of the driveway with the street cleaning sign just at the rear end of my car. Do I have any case for pleading not guilty?
Thanks in advance for your feed back.
Tom
Tom,
Good morning.
Thanks for your kind word…I appreciate them.
It appears from your description that you parked within the bus stop zone.
I would check the front of the ticket for defective required elements. If so, you win by application.
Good luck.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the quick response. Can you clarify what you mean by “defective required elements”?
Thanks again.

Hi Larry! I was pulled over by a undercover police officer because he said I didnt stop when the yellow bus had his stop sign. Uhh drive through this block everyday. This block has like five buses parked with both blinking lights but nit their stoo signs out. How can I dispute a ticket that I know iam in all my rights. I feel offended by knowing that the stop sighns to these buses were not out. How can I deffend my case?
Hi Mildred,

Hi Larry! Thank you for all your help!
I’m from MA and I was visiting NYC. I got “No standing bus stop” parking ticket. There were no signs, no yellow curb, no signs in pavement, in other words… nothing front of my “parking spot”. There was a bus stop two cars-space away in front of my car. I wasn’t aware of my violation, and I paid not only one but two parking permits (the second one, right before I found the ticket at the windshield) Even dough I was displaying the permit on the dash, the warrior wrote N/S under permit displayed, N/A under permit number and N/S under plate type…
can I use this to pledge not guilty?
since I live in MA and 10 days have passed, do you think fighting the ticket by internet will be a good option?
Thank you in advance,
Artie
Larry,
I got a no standing bus stop ticket at 6:57pm. My meter parking ticket expired at 6:59pm and I was picking up a 20 month old.
What are the chances of winning this ticket? If so, how can I prove it?
Dear David,
Good morning.
Great questions.
Bus stops are tough.
It appears you were issued a VC19 (bus stop) parking ticket, not a expired meter (VC38) parking ticket. So, the time of violation is not relevant.
What is relevant is that you were picking up a passenger, which you are permitted to do, as long as you complete the activity expeditiously, and skedaddle…But, the driver is not permitted to leave the car.
So, my question is, how did you “pick up a baby?” Was it in another car? Was the other car in the bus stop zone, too? Why did you stop in the bus stop zone to make the pick up?
Assuming you had a passenger with you (or you were the passenger and some one else was driving), and you expeditiously picked up the baby from another vehicle, and was about to leave the bus stop zone when you were issued the ticket, you have a winning defense (depending upon what, if anything, the warrior entered in the box, “Complainant’s Comments.”
Again, it’s a tough ticket to beat. You’ll need certifications from you, and all the other participants in the pick up.
Parenthetically, I’m a bit confused. Why did you pay a meter and park illegally in a bus stop zone? Please enlighten me.
Best,
Larry
Hi Larry,
I parked at a bus stop where the sign was not visible because it was obstructed by a scaffold during construction. If I would have gotten out of my car then I would have seen the bus stop sign; however, I did not think it was necessary at the time. Additionally, the alternate side parking sign had an arrow facing the direction opposite of me. Do you think I have a chance at fighting this ticket?
Hey Feldon,
Good morning.
Hope travel went safely for you yesterday.
Bus stop tickets are tough to beat.
There is a defense that works some of the time. It’s the “hidden sign” defense. The tipping point is the quality of the photographs you present as evidence that the sign was hidden from sight.
I hate to be a naysayer, but was there a bus stop shelter? Was it visible?
Here’s a link to a customer success story where we used the “hidden sigh” defense.

Lawrence,
Is there a way to reduce the No Standing Bus Stop ticket penalty?
Thanks
Dear David,
Good afternoon.
I am very sad to report that the Evil Empire terminated the settlement program for all parking violations several years ago…It’s pay or fight. No more reduced fines in exchange for a plea of guilty.
Good luck.

Lawrence,
I just got hit with a parking ticket on a public parking lot. But I didn’t see visible markings/paintlines on the ground due to a snow and thick ice covering. There wasn’t even any “NO STANDING” or “NO PARKING” sign near the spot as well. I even paid for the parking ticket for a full day thinking that I was allowed to park there. Your thoughts please?
if you are parked in a no standing bus zone make sure if you see a no parking sign that the arrow on the sign is only point one way.and park on the opposite side of where it’s pointing.if you see a no parking sign with a double headed arrow that means don’t park there on any side.you think cops would know this.but i had a cop last week telling me i couldn’t park in the bus zone and the no parking sign behind me had an arrtow going the other way.so i was fine.my wife had to tell him the sign shows an arrow going in the opposite direction.and even then the cop said i will have to check this out and look into this.unbelievable.
Sorry for the confusion. This is just a public parking in front of a subway station where you can pay $8 and park all day. My spot was covered with snow and couldn’t see any obvious markings or lines. Do you think I can fight for not guilty ticket?
Hi David,
Please send me a photograph of the area, and the street/borough.
I’ll take a look and advise. [larry@newyorkparkingticket.com]

Larry,
I am losing my mind over a parking ticket and tow that I got a little while ago. They towed me from 125th Street, with all of my baby’s stuff in the car (seat, coat, medicines, food, and more). $475 and 6 hours later, I had the car back and was able to collect my wife and child from the restaurant where they had waited for me (in the nick of time . . . if I hadn’t put $125 in cabs on my CC, I wouldn’t have gotten the car on time, and it would have been locked up for three more days).
Your web site is great . . . but is making me concerned that I might not be able to beat this one. Why I was towed, and not a single other car on the block was not? There is one bus stop sign at the far end of the block, and there are dozens of cars parked along the whole length of it.
As you can see, ALL of the other parking signs (which should be there per the database) are removed, the bus stop is semi-permanently obstructed, and there is a driveway there due to construction. The restaurant hostess and a construction worker both said the signs had been removed, and now it’s treated like a trap.
THIS IS UNJUST! Check out my “web site” link for pics of this one . . .
Signed,
Charlie
Hey Charlie,
Man, what an absolute shame.
I despise towing under any circumstances.
It’s misused and abused.
I suggest putting aside all the peripheral damage for a moment and focus on the parking ticket. Were any of the required element omitted, misdescribed, or illegible? If so, you win upon application.
If not, check out the place of occurrence and make sure that it describes a specific location that was regulated by the bus stop sign.
If still no winning defense…I rarely suggest this in a reply to a comment, but you may wish to have a personal consultation on this ticket, considering the amount of money you got hit with for tow fees, and prospective parking fine, to check out Larry’s Advice. Here’s the link

PS . . . I was parked in front of the little white van that you can see at the far right of the second photo.
Thanks for a great web site!
Larry,
I stumbled upon this website, when I was trying to find an answer about bus stop tickets, so firstly thanks for the informative article;
Secondly, I was wondering if I can get a ticket for the following: I was dropping off a friend @a bus stop, in front of 26 Federal Plaza, and a minute before I drove away a bus pulled in, he was probably waiting a second or 2 till I drove away so I was wondering if there is any possible way of knowing if I got a camera ticket for that? (Didn’t see no flash)

Larry,
What if the parking space is indicated by {newly} painted solid white line, which ends 2 car lengths past the next street sign. That indicates the end of the bus stop, which makes it seem like a legal designated parking.
W23rd near FDR
i.e. |>steet sign
bus stop|> [2 parked cars
(It looks kinda like this)
Is that incorrect signage or entrapment? There is something wrong about this. Do I stand a chance fighting?
Brandon,
Good evening.
Creative writing, but sadly I don’t quite follow your question.
Are you asking a bus stop question? A parking sign question?
You got a parking ticket…Yes?
You want to know whether you have a defense…Yes?
What was the parking violation?
(Entrapment only works on T.V. not in Parking Ticket Land).
I’ve never heard of “incorrect signage.” What’s incorrect signage?
Generally, you want to be sure that the parking rule displayed on the parking sign
that regulates your parking space matches the parking rule entered on your
parking ticket. For example, if the place of occurrence is regulated by a no standing rule,
if the warrior charges you with no parking, you win.
Enlighten me, Brandon.
Regards,
Larry
I recived a ticket for parking in a bus stop. The parking space is outlined by a solid white line that extends down the block. With a bus stop sign that is about 4 bus lengths from the beginning of the solid white line.
My question would be can I dispute the ticket recived, is it worth the time.
If I could send you a picture it might be easier to visually see the space.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
You would think the city would only paint a line for a legal parking space right?
Hey Brandon,
Great question and rather unfair scenario — same thing happened to me. Just curious, what did you end up doing with your violation?
Thanks,
Arthur
If you park in the direction of a bus stop arrow but there is a fire hydrant inbetween and your car is after the hydrant, would the hydrant be a ending point for the bus stop distance like in the scenerio of another sign?
Mike,
Good morning.
This is a great question.
A fire hydrant does not have the “power” to end a bus stop zone, only the next real live parking sign.
Good luck.

Hello
So my situation is that i received two tickets. One ticket was for registration being expired, one for parking in a bus zone. I left my sister in the car while running inside to help my mother out with her purchase she disabled and has trouble moving with her prosthetic leg , the car was running with my sister inside. The “meter warrior” was said to have come over to the car. Asked where the driver was ,my sister i was inside and she would move the car. The guy replies “no to late i am writing the ticket”. So one ticket for expired registration. i paid for the renewal of the registration a week prior to this just didn’t have the updated registration in my possession. The other ticket was for the bus zone. Is there anything that cant be done or should i just suck it up and pay the ticket.

We got a bus stop ticket. There was a sign with an arrow, but we missed it and parked immediately in front of it because there was also a fire hydrant, which distracted us. We parked the appropriate distance from the hydrant, but apparently that was still in the bus zone, one car length on front of the arrowed sign that listed other timed parking restrictions. Do we have a chance of fighting this? There was much confusion and layers of restrictions in this case.

Hi Larry,
For this violation I directly received the Notice of Outstanding Violation after around 45 days of violation date, I have never received the Original Notice of Violation. The violation mentioned is regarding the No standing – Bus Stop. I remember, on that day I inadvertently thought Bus Stop place as parking place, but immediately within a few seconds (may be less than 10 seconds) I recognized that it is as Bus Stop, hence I immediately move out from Bus Stop and drove to the designated parking place. This could be the reason that I did not receive the original notice of Violation. I believe, since I have not parked or stand for longer time at Bus Stop, this should not be considered as Violation. Do you think I have a chance at fighting this ticket?
Dear Jignesh,
Good afternoon.
I hate to be negative, but…This will be a tough ticket to beat.
You are permitted to stop temporarily in a bus stop zone for the sole purpose of expeditiously picking up or dropping off a passenger.
You can’t simply enter or exit without dropping/picking up in a bus stop zone.
Best,
Larry
Hi Larry,
I was recently fined for parking in a no standing bus stop, but the signs are incredibly confusing. First of all, the bus stop sign apparently indicated the END of the zone, because when I went back to inspect, the bus was stopping behind it. However, the only indication was an arrow on the sign pointing to that side of the block. There was another official parking sign right next to the bus stop sign, and then one behind it a ways away (I had parked in front of the official sign behind the stop). But how could I have known that the sign indicated the end and not the beginning of the bus stop? There was also a hydrant before there was the bus stop sign, so I just assumed no bus would stop by a hydrant. Apparently I was wrong.
Do I have a chance in fighting this?

Hello,
I was present when the agent was issuing the ticket for me temporarily standing at a bus stop and the verge of leaving. The ticket issuer did not ask me to move but went on writing a ticket. Reading the ticket it states that “I affirm under the penalty of perjury that I personally observed the offense charged above; if the operator was present I indicated the operator’s name or “ID refused” and personally served this notice upon him/her, if the operator was not present or refused to accept personal service of this notice, I affixed this notice to the vehicle”. Can’t I fight the ticket because he failed to ask me for my identifications? and wrote “owner of the vehicle bearing license”

Hi,
there is a Bus Stop sign 125 feet from the corner. This is not a commuter bus stop, but a school bus stop. Just above the Bus stop sign there is ‘No Standing 7 am – 4 pm School Days” sing with an arrow going back.
I’ve been parking there for years and I always assumed the bus stop was going from the corner up until the sign.
My car was parked after the sign. But I got a ticket for a parking in a bus stop.
The place of occurrence on the ticket says ’75 feet from the corner’ which is totally incorrect since the sign is located 125 feet from the corner (I used google map to show distance) so my car was parked at least 135 feet from the corner. In any case it was parked after the sign.
Was ticket issued correctly?
And if not, can I dispute it considering the fact I didn’t notice the ticket until after I drove away. The ticket was folded 4-fold (1.5 ‘ wide) and neatly tacked under the viper so it was barely visible from the driver seat.
Thanks.
Hi Paul,
Sorry about the parking pain.
In order to give you an intelligent answer, I’ll need to look at the scene of the parking “crime”
Please provide me with the place of occurrence entered on the ticket.
Looking forward to your reply.

A new sign was added today – No Standing Bus Stop- and I received a ticket because clearly I had no idea of this addition since I am used to parking here everyday to pick up my child. The parking officer told me to fight it as a new sign. Can I fight that and win?
Hi, Kristina,

Yes. If a new sign is installed within 5 days, you can beat the ticket.

Hi! How does one find out when a bus stop sign was put in?
Hi, Shulamit,
Good morning.
Great question. But sadly, I don’t have a great answer for you.
I have two suggestions:
-Make a FOIL request online (you may be 10 years older when you get a reply and then it will probably say they don’t have the information available)
-Call 311 and ask for the information
I’ve had no luck with this, so please if you get the info, please let us know how.

Hi
I parked the car in the bus stop which is sign no standing school days 8-5:30 but now os sumer holiday no schools until september how can i fight this thank u
I was ticketed last Sunday 10/13 on the Upper West Side for “No Standing Bus Stop”. There was an official sign posted over the bus stop sign which read, “M104
Bus Stop Temprarily relocated
31st AnnualUpper Broadway Harvest Festival
Streets Affected
Broadway Southbound only between96th street and 86th Street
Sunday 10/13/19 from 8 am-8pm” I took a picture of the sign and also a picture of all the other cars including mine parked there. Do you think I have a chance to beat this ticket?
Hi, Joanna,
Good afternoon.
If I’m reading the information you provided correctly, the bus stop was temporarily relocated during the hours the ticket was issued.
At best, the sign is very confusing. At worse, it means there was no bus stop at the location.
I would fight this stupid ticket.
Good luck.
Regards,
Larry
