Why Are People Parking In Front Of Houses Of Worship When It's Clearly Not Legal To Do So?

Parkazine Reader Berl recently emailed us this question: "I'm continually astonished that people going to church can "legally" park in spots clearly marked as No Parking all over the place during church hours. Talk about separation of church and state! Why does worship all of a sudden give you the right to park where you please?"

When Is It OK To Park AT A Bus Stop?

Parkazine Reader Erwin recently emailed us this question: "My question is about bus stops. On sundays and sometimes later in the evenings, I see vehicles parked in the bus stop area. What is the ruling for this area in terms of parking? The sign says "No Standing" with no time indicated or "anytime". Also, is there a difference between "No Standing Anytime" and plainly "No Standing"?

Aren't All The National Bank Holidays Also Parking Holidays?

Parkazine Reader Donna asked this great question: "I received a ticket in the amount of $115 for parking at a "no standing commercial meter zone, Mon-Fri 8a-6p" on Monday, 1/21 (Martin Luther King Day which is a federally recognized holiday). I found this excerpt from the NYC DOT site: On major legal holidays stopping, standing and parking are permitted except in areas where stopping, standing and parking rules are in effect seven days a week (for example, "No Standing Anytime"). I'm just wondering if the word "commercial" on the ticket negates this NYC DOT law. Can you advise? Thanks!"

What exactly does Double Parking mean?

Parkazine Reader Marcel asked this great question: "I have a bar/restaurant on 3rd ave b/t 93-94st in Manhattan. I frequently drop off goods at my place. I have received numerous parking tickets for double parking, even if the car is running, the door is open and I am 2 feet away handing something off. What is the actual definition of double parking, is there any allowance for business owners in front of their business, and do you think these can be appealed?"
