Council Rules Drivers Can Park Longer At Broken Meters
NEW YORK, NY [NY1] — The City Council ruled Wednesday that drivers will now be permitted to park at a broken meter for the entire time normally allowed in the parking zone.
The old law limited the time to one hour.
The Department of Transportation had argued that the current rule discourages vandals from breaking meters.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says New Yorkers cannot afford to pay for unfair parking tickets due to confusing rules.
R.S.
just be aware that they can fix the meters while you are parked there and tnen they can ticket you. that happened to me and i send back the ticket not guilty and wrote the meter was 100% broken when i parked there, thankfully it was dismissed.
