What are the penalties for parking in violation of no-parking signs?
1 Answers
Violating no-parking signs or markings results in a 3-point deduction. According to Traffic Law Violation 1039: Motor vehicles parked or temporarily stopped in violation of regulations, with the driver absent or refusing to leave immediately when present, obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians, will incur fines but no point deduction. Below is relevant information about temporary parking of motor vehicles: 1. Parking is prohibited in sections with no-parking signs/markings, sections with separation facilities between motor and non-motor lanes/sidewalks, crosswalks, and construction zones; 2. Parking is prohibited at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads under 4m wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and within 50m of these locations; 3. Parking is prohibited within 30m of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants or fire stations (except when using these facilities); 4. Doors cannot be opened or passengers boarded before the vehicle is fully stopped, and door operation must not obstruct traffic; 5. Roadside parking must be close to the right side, drivers must remain with the vehicle, and depart immediately after boarding/alighting or loading/unloading; 6. City buses cannot pick up/drop off passengers outside designated stops.
