Bill > A03730

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to prevent cities with populations over one million (which effectively means New York City) from creating local parking regulations that conflict with state laws regarding parking near crosswalks. Specifically, the bill modifies section 1642 of the vehicle and traffic law to clarify that local jurisdictions cannot supersede state provisions about parking within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. The change ensures that uniform state-level parking regulations will apply in large cities, preventing municipalities from establishing their own potentially different rules about parking near crosswalks. By maintaining consistent statewide standards, the bill aims to create clarity and standardization in traffic and parking regulations across New York State, particularly in its most populous city. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, meaning the new parking restriction will be implemented right away.
