Hi-
I have three questions regarding NYC traffic rules:
1 - Is there a rule on the books regarding curbside parking between a
stop line and a crosswalk? Either completely or partially parking
over the stop line at an intersection.
2 - I've seen this sign mostly on Park Avenue north of Grand Central,
"Stop Here On Red Signal". When turning from Park onto a side street,
must one stop at this sign in the median? Or is this sign for cars
crossing over Park from a side street?
3 - At the intersection of 56 Av. & 220th St. in Queens there is a
stop line saying "Stop Here On Red Signal". Can a car turn right on
red from 56 Av. onto 220th St. even though the traffic light is for
Springfield Blvd.?
Thank you.

people being cited for parking in a "safety zone". However, a safety
zone is, by definition, a painted area in the roadway, not the space
beyond a stop line.

No. That would be turning right on red, illegal throughout the city.
Since 220th St. is within 30 feet of Springfield Blvd., it is legally
the same intersection and thus the signal applies to it as well.

Not apparently, but there seems to be confusion on the matter, with some

You must stop when turning left.

Thank you for those answers. They do help. I just thought of one
more. Around Yankee Stadium there are signs, "TOW AWAY ZONE / NO
PARKING STADIUM EVENT". Is this regulation only in effect during the
actual event? Or does it start and end a few hours before and after
an event for traffic purposes? How would one know when they must move
their car?

Seems that's still being sussed out. Consensus seems to be no parking 3
hours prior to game time. After? Well, once the traffic clears I guess
you're good to go...
