NYC parking rules school is now in session

Let’s dedicate this song to all the people who are learning the NYC parking rules

“School days, school days.
Dear old golden rule days
Readin’ and ‘ritin and ‘rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, “I love you, Joe.”
When we were a couple of kids…”

Who amongst us hasn’t enjoyed this simple song with beautiful lyrics that make us nostalgic to find our 6th-grade girl/boyfriend? Now, fast forward to the chaotic heavy metal sounds of rush hour traffic in the city that never sleeps with a dizzying number of parking rules on gotcha poles.

A pro quarterback has 4 seconds to get rid of a ball before the pocket collapses, and a relentless pass rush crushes him. How much time does the driving public have to read 3 parking signs on a gotcha pole and decide whether parking is legal before being zapped by a warriors scanner?

Here are some of the recent results from our parking ticket polls

 Commentary

The test scores of our driving community have been significantly improving throughout the year. Hooray! (Would I be granted teacher tenure in NJ?). Still, I’d love to see the day when every, single, solitary member of the NYC driving public knows that you and your chariot are prohibited from parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, unless…

And, it is absolutely, positively legal to park in front of a pedestrian ramp, with no parking signs, traffic control devices and marked crosswalks.

I love this school song…How about you?
