48 hour resident parking rule

[robin bobo]

Hi,

I just got slapped with a parking ticket for leaving my car in one spot for 48 hours. (I am a resident.) I guess it was obvious from the snow piled on top of it.

But this just sounds like a bad law. Why would you want to incentivize people to move their cars every 2 days? I am not blocking thing, I am in a legal parking spot, no one is hurt by me leaving my car where I park it all of the time. If they have problem with me leaving snow on my car, then the law should be, "Residents must clear snow from car within 48hours of snow storm."

OK, good to know that this is a well-recognized point of frustration. Thanks for the historical perspective on it.

Plus the which that except for snowstorms it is rarely enforced if you are following the rules (not in someone's driveway entrance, not on a crosswalk, not in an intersection, etc.) It's irritating, but not a huge deal in practice.

And now you have extra incentive to get the car cleaned sooner before it all sets into ice anyway, I guess.
