Bill > S10148

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to prevent cities with over one million residents from overriding a state law that prohibits parking or standing a vehicle within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. The existing law, section 1642 of the vehicle and traffic law, generally allows cities to create their own traffic regulations, but this bill specifically adds an exception to that authority, ensuring that the state's prohibition on blocking crosswalks remains in effect in these large cities.
