Sidewalk parking in so-called self enforcement zone

Observed by boerum hill blues on Sat, Apr 14 2007

A whole block of illegal sidewalk parking, starting with this guy. They probably consider this to be their "self-enforcement zone," but we all know that doesn't include parking on the sidewalk

In front of a private house. Imagine you get summonses for not sweeping and you can't because some cop has his car parked on the sidewalk.

I wonder what the blind man does when he comes here? Booomf!

I know this area qquite well and this street has angle parking on it.
Please take the time to do a little research before you post these exaggerated photos.

#2: How is this photo exaggerated? Angle parking does not permit one to park on the sidewalk.

Doesn't look like angle parking either. He must be fun to go up against in court.....

I just love how the poster tries to sham the visitors of this site into believing that this is one rogue cop parking in this manner. LOL. If you look closely there are several cars parked behind this car. As a matter of fact this area is designated for cops to angle park and as a courtesy to the street traffic we put our rear wheels on the sidewalk. We all know that vehicular traffic takes presidence over pedestrian especially when the lazy residents can walk around the parked cars.
Stop whining and accept reality. If you dont it ill drive you insane like a few posters of this site already are. LOL.

#5 Not sure what you're talking about regarding the original poster trying to "sham" visitors. Anyway, angle parking does not allow one to put your wheels on the sidewalk. You speak of "courtesies", but they are in fact illegal.

From the post: "A whole block of illegal sidewalk parking, starting with this guy."

A sham? No. Just someone who's not buying the mythical SEZ excuse, whether it's one car or forty.

the cops should do what the construction workers do just put an illegal barrier and park their private cars. take a good look at the pic across the street. I know this site is just against the man.

Please stop being courteous to the street traffic and be courteous to the pedestrians. We're the majority in the city. Why are we "lazy" for not wanting to walk around your cars, but the motorists aren't "lazy" for not wanting to drive around them?

Looks like plenty of room on the sidewalk for pedestrians to pass. No problem here.

The cops should all park parallel to the curb from now on. With the cars off of the sidewalk it will take up 3 times as many spots and with any bit of luck the C.O. of the command will request signage from DOT stating "No Parking Except Authorized."

Angle parking with 2 wheels on the sidewalk is common place at most precincts around the city. This is not different here. Obviously the poster has nothing better to do but to complain about a SEZ. The pedestrians are already used to walking around the parked cars. It is a price one pays for a police presence.
The constant complaining is sad.
