Bill > S07354

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to prohibit parking vehicles taller than 60 inches (5 feet) within 15 feet of an intersection, with some exceptions. Specifically, vehicles can temporarily park in this zone only for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers or merchandise. The bill gives local municipalities the authority to establish and enforce penalties for violations, which may include towing costs. The legislation allows each local governing body to create its own specific sanctions for vehicles that violate this parking restriction. The new rule aims to improve visibility and safety at intersections by preventing large vehicles from blocking sightlines, though it provides some flexibility for brief, functional stops. The law would take effect immediately upon passage, enabling local jurisdictions to quickly implement the new parking guidelines.
