Confusing parking signs may cost a driver a bunch of their bucks
Have you been able to unravel parking sign language? Or, are the meaning of parking signs still a costly mystery?
Likewise, are you at a loss about how to break the parking sign code?
It’s an old joke. A fellow goes to New York to attend a concert, but gets lost. He spots another fellow who’s carrying a violin case. ‘Sir, can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?’ The musician smiles and says, ‘Practice, practice, practice.’ “

Will this proposed law ever see the light of day?
A Local Law to amend the administrative code, in relation to extending the grace period for parking violations after a change in parking restrictions
“This bill would extend the grace period for parking violations after a change in parking restrictions in New York City in two ways. It would extend the affirmative defense period after notice of a change in parking restrictions from five days to fifteen days, and additionally require that no vehicle may be towed as a result of a violation of a new parking restriction for a period of thirty days after posting notice of the change unless towing the vehicle is determined to be necessary for public safety.”

How’d you do? Did you get them all right? Meanwhile, It is not easy to unravel NYC parking signs. But, here are some more tips you may find helpful;
-Red you’re generally dead. Therefore, keep driving if a red sign regulates your parking space. Or, check the rule and days/hours carefully to make sure it’s safe to park.
-Similarly, get in the great habit of checking days/hours on all the signs regulating your parking space. For example, If you are trying to park on a Tuesday at 10:00 am, you see a street cleaning sign regulating your parking space, and it says that street cleaning happens on Tuesdays between 9:30 – 11 am, there’s nothing more to think about regardless of how many other parking signs live on the gotcha pole, right? Right! Skedaddle immediately.
Some more tips
-Always check the parking signs in the front and in the rear of your car. Just because there is a sign right in front of your car that permits parking, doesn’t mean there isn’t another parking sign located in the rear of your car that prohibits parking.
-Likewise, check the arrow(s) on the parking sign. If it points to your parking space and prohibits parking on the days/hours you want to park, move along little doggie!
