What’s the Difference Between Parking and Standing?

This is the second part in a 3 part series of articles about why knowing the 3 No’s is parking ticket gold. In this post we compare the difference between Parking and Standing

 Knowledge is power

Once you understand the meaning of Standing and Parking, apply your knowledge to make better parking choices. When a rule prohibits parking, you can stop temporarily to discharge or receive passengers AND load or unload property to the curb.

On the other hand, when a parking rule prohibits standing, you can only stop temporarily to receive or discharge passengers.

NO STANDING: Stop, drop or receive passengers, and go

NO PARKING: Stop, drop or receive passengers/load or unload property, and go

Do not get caught loading or unloading property to the curb in a No Standing Zone. For example, the rules prohibit STANDING in a bus stop zone. One of the bad judgments our friends and clients make is loading or unloading property in a bus stop zone. ZAP goes the scanner stinging you with a $115 NYC parking ticket. It may be counterintuitive to think you can’t unload your property in a bus stop zone, but it is NYC parking law.

Read the sign, understand the rule, apply the proper parking behavior, and you won’t pay a dime in parking ticket fines.

Park safely.
