13. You’ll
learn
in
part

• Your
rights
when
a
brand,
spanking
new,
parking
sign
is
installed
• What
parking
sign
regulates
your
space
when
you
park
your
car
in
two
parking
zones
• How
do
you
know
when
a
parking
sign
regulates
your

space?

14. Installation
of
a
new
parking
sign
• You
can
beat
a
NYC
parking
Jcket
if
you
present
the
proper
proof
properly
that
a
parking
sign
changing
the
parking
rule
was
installed
within
5
days
of
the
issuance
of
your
parking
Jcket

15. Here’s
how
you
parked

16. Here’s
a
red
sign
behind
your
car,
with
the
arrow
pointing
to
your
parking
space

17. What
parking
sign
regulates
your
parking
space?
• The
answer
is…
BOTH!
• A
parking
sign
regulates
all
parking
spaces
in
the
direcJon(s)
of
the
arrow(s)
unJl
the
next
parking
sign,
or
end
of
the
block
• In
this
example,
the
car
is
parked
in
two
parking
zones.
The
front
end
of
the
car
is
parking
in
the
zone
regulated
by
the
street
cleaning
sign,
while
the
rear
of
the
car
is
parked
in
the
zone
regulated
by
the
red
no
standing
except…
sign
• The
more
restricJve
rule
wins.
You
cannot
park
here
legally
if
the
rule
on
one
sign
permits
parking,
while
the
rule
on
the
other
sign
prohibits

No
trumps
yes.
