No Standing zones usually exist for a good reason, often so that drivers have a better field of vision at intersections. There must be a reason for this one as well.

Bryan1, you may want to limit the site to illegal parking that raises immediate safety issues, but others (including site Admins, apparently) do not agree. You can't say it causes no danger at all without knowing why this is a no standing zone. And besides, this does not appear to be near any Dep't of Corrections garage, so this guy is just abusing his placard.

Bryan, you have got to be kidding me..... the vehicle is in violation of VTL regardless of a safety issue or not, its clearly permit abuse. Your justifications on almost every post is pathetic, in your eyes nobody from federal, state or city agencies does wrong..

Steve,did i once say or suggest we limit the site to only saftey issues? or did i simply add my 2cents to the PUBLIC FORUM ? and you state this does not appear to be near any corrections garage ,but do you know that for sure or are you just guessing? my guess would be you know nothing about staten island other then it has a ferry and had a dump

I apologize if I've offended you. Your right, your opinion is your opinion I Just feel you have never once acknowledged someone breaking the law as doing so.

If it's a no standing zone on a corner it's most likely there so that drivers can see if anyone's coming the other way. If that's the case, then yes, it most certainly is a safety issue.

The standard should be the same as anybody. Even if SEZ existed, it was meant to be at the job, not anywhere you have to leave your car.

Can't believe this was even posted. There is no safety issue there. This site is really getting stupid.

Steve, I have a question:

I know it does not relate to this post But I was wondering if you could anser it. Do cars with NYC Disability Permits (SPI) issued to that car have to be registered in NYS? Or can an out of state car legally hold an SPI plaque?

Awesome, even Staten Islanders are getting fed up.
Hardly considered "libs".

to comments #1 by Bryan and comment #16 by anonymous......

You claim that the vehicle in this photo poses no safety hazzard.But apparantly the NYPD student guide training manual disagrees with you.

Here is a link----

http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/dc_training/pdf/2005%20Police%20Students%20Guide/1st%20Trimester/13-Summonses.pdf

scroll down to page 24 to read the list of parking violations that create a public safety hazzard.

JIMMY,whats the point ? Jaywalking is a saftey hazard,not having a horn on a BIKE is a saftey hazard also .............again,i never said his or her parking was legal,but if you knew the area and that 13 blocks of park space that come after that sign ,you might not consider it a photo worth posting on this site........again its just my point of view,and we can dig up tons of horseshit guides and rules that would be a saftey problem ......lets get a grip on life

Bryan I will tell you what my point is. I agree that in some cases parking somewhere might be technically illegal but no safety hazzards are apparant.

However if the NYPD and the T.E.A. bang civilian vehicles for petty offenses that pose no public safety hazzard, then vehicles that have placards in the windshield should be ticketed as well.

Lets all play by the same rules.

#17, I don't know whether disability permit holders have to register their car in NY. Seems fair that they be required to do so; this type of permit appears to be heavily abused (jsut the sheet number of the permits in use and the able-bodied folks who seem to be using them); but I don't know the answer to the question.

But check out this article in the Post:

Great Article. Let's see which happens first - the mayor virtually eliminates "permit abuse" or congestion pricing goes into effect.

I bet neither ever happen in this city.

Congestion pricing got a big thumbs down in London. Lots of little businesses got hurt. Gave a bunch of reasons. If I know that, then the city must know that, so what's really going on?

#38 how do you know if a person is disabled or not. Just because a person gets out of his or her car and walks perfectly doesn't mean they are not disabled. As usual you have no clue on what you are talking about.

Bottom line...the vehicle no longer parks here after this was poted!
