Parking and Curb Cuts
Effective December 2008, the New York City Traffic rules have been modified to allow parking at some "T" intersections, those without traffic signals or all-way stop signs or crosswalk markings. These locations have caused confusion in the past, as they were not clearly delineated as spaces for pedestrians or cars. The rule change has enabled the Department to put them in the category appropriate for each location, making it clearer for motorists, pedestrians and enforcement agents.
Parking is now permitted at those "T" Intersections where the adjacent (major) street is not marked with a crosswalk and not controlled by all-way stop signs or traffic signals, even if there is a curb cut at that location.
Parking is now allowed at curb-cuts adjacent to certain T intersections.
When two streets intersect but do not cross it is referred to as a "T" intersection. The top of the "T" is considered to be the major street and the stem of the "T" is the minor street. A curb cut is the area of a sidewalk, which has been lowered, or cut down, to facilitate access to the street.
Upon request to 311 or the through its Borough Offices, If you would like DOT to consider T-intersection locations for a placement of a crosswalk call 311 or contact the DOT Borough Office nearest you. Based on the location's distance from the nearest crosswalk and pedestrian volumes, DOT will determine whether a crosswalk can be installed.
