What are the parking regulations in Brooklyn?
I'm going to rent an apartment in Brooklyn, in the Clinton Hill Neighborhood. Apparently buildings don't have parking spaces inside them, unlike where I live (Ecuador). Instead, people park their cars on the streets.
Besides parking regulations specified in the signs on the street, is this legal? Is it safe? Is it possible (or advisable) to leave your car overnight parked on the street?
Best Answer
The regulations are the same throughout New York City (for all 5 boroughs).
You can look up the regulations for parking on the NYC DOT site which will give you detailed regulations block by block.
Or you can look up complete list (if your head won't spin) again on the New Your City's Department of Transportation site.
But mostly you should look at the signs that are usually posted at the street corners or any place where regulation changes.
As far as safety is concerned. Most places in New York the streets are OK to park on the only thing that most people do is fold the mirrors if it is possible. Since they and the bumpers usually become the first casualties of the street parking.
