Bill > S02260

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to require the commissioner of motor vehicles to install a notification of the thirty-foot parking restriction directly beneath stop signs on state highways. Currently, the law prohibits parking within thirty feet of stop signs, flashing signals, yield signs, or traffic-control signals, but does not mandate explicit signage about this distance requirement. The bill aims to improve driver awareness by ensuring that the thirty-foot parking restriction is conspicuously posted, helping motorists understand and comply with the existing parking rule. The new requirement will take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law, and the commissioner of motor vehicles is authorized to begin installing the required signs immediately upon the bill's passage. By making the parking restriction more visible, the bill seeks to enhance road safety and reduce potential parking violations near intersections and traffic control points.
