Neighborhood Loading Zones
NYC DOT’s Neighborhood Loading Zone (NLZ) program aims to reduce double parking on narrow residential streets by providing space at the curb for activities such as:
- Package deliveries by commercial vehicles
- Taxi and car service pick-up and drop-off
- Active loading and unloading of personal vehicles
Providing dedicated curb space for these activities during daytime and evening hours will help to reduce double parking as well as other unwanted standing behaviors, creating a safer and more efficient environment for all road users. NLZs aim to help reduce conflicts between trucks and cyclists, improve bus travel times, and better serve all of the activities that occur on our city’s streets.
Locations
Neighborhood Loading Zones are in all five boroughs. These curb spaces may be used for the expeditious pick-up and drop-off of passengers and goods.
NLZs are marked with No Parking signs and signage with detailed information about how to use these spaces. Always follow posted parking regulations.
Some locations are listed below, with more zones being installed.
