Kings County, NY Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Parking Regulations New York City's parking regulations govern where vehicles can stop, stand and park in the city. The City's parking regulations are part of the Traffic Rules and Regulations. [...] All of New York City is a designated Tow Away Zone under the State's Vehicle and Traffic Law. This means that any vehicle parked or operated illegally, or with missing or expired registration or inspection stickers, may be towed. 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"). Double parking of passenger vehicles is illegal at all times, including when street cleaning is occurring, regardless of location, purpose or duration. An occupied illegally parked vehicle causes the same safety hazard and congestion as an unoccupied vehicle. Alternate Side Parking Many streets in New York have alternate side regulations, which allow for street cleaning. [...] Fire Hydrants It is illegal to park within 15 feet of either side of a fire hydrant, including on floating parking lanes (next to protected bike lanes).
