Don’t get boxed in by parking fines!
Parking violations in New York City come with a price tag, and it can vary depending on the offense. Blocking an intersection, parking in a crosswalk, or ignoring restricted parking signs can land you a hefty ticket. But the real parking pirates beware: bus lane and bus stop violations carry the steepest fines.
Remember, time is money – especially when it comes to parking tickets. You have 30 days to settle the score before late fees kick in, and eventually, your car could get the boot!
