Full Breakdown
" The section then schedules each restricted curb by hamlet, street, side and hours. on any day except Sundays and holidays. Outside those posted windows, ordinary parking rules resume at those curbs. Companion Section 233-165 works the same way for loading zones with round-the-clock restrictions, stating flatly that "the parking of vehicles is hereby prohibited in any of the following locations, which shall be properly sign posted," and its schedule likewise carries a LOADING ZONES heading with dozens of specific curb segments across the Town's hamlets.
" Because the Town Code only governs unincorporated hamlets, none of these loading zone locations fall inside any of the roughly twenty incorporated villages within the Town's borders, which enforce their own separate parking codes.
Violations & Fines
A vehicle parked in a posted loading zone during its restricted hours is a traffic infraction under Section 233-2, punishable by a fine of up to $500, imprisonment of up to 15 days, or both. Nassau County police, who patrol Town roads under Section 233-90's enforcement duty in other divisions of this chapter, issue the summons; the Town's own parking enforcement unit also ticket-tags posted loading zones. Signage is a prerequisite: an unposted curb cannot be cited under Section 233-166.
