![]() ![]() ![]() Presuming 3 to be correct (someone pls correct), then there s/b 3 sidewalk squares between the square containiing the hydrant and the square your rear bumper is in. Perhaps someone knows, but 3 squares comes to mind. I've been told a good way to gauge is to count the number of sidewalk 'squares'. In NYC, what is an issue is in the public's effort and capability to determine 'visually' 15 feet. Is there something above you disagree with? Rather, what you chose to do was to act in YOUR convenience, disregarding public safety. If you did not KNOW what is "enough", you s/h erred on the side of caution, it is as simple as that. KNOWING what was "enough" is YOUR responsibilit as a driver in NYS! RESPONSIBILE action is certainly inherent in the law, the privledge of driving, and plain common sense. If there was a fire, your presumptive action w/h inhibited the fire department from doing its job, preserving life and property. Iif, for no other reason than your presumptive, perhaps arrogant, self-determination of "enough"!!! WHAT gave you the right, and WHAT causes you to determine "enough"? YOUR presumption put people in danger. Well, the ticket is certaiinly justified! To be honets, looking around I would have never figured out the 15 feet rule, in fact what I did I learned from New Yorkers. When I went to the car at about 7 am this morning I had a parking ticket ![]() I rented a car, for the second time in NY, parked 5 feet from a fire hydrant thinking that was enough. I did not know this rule until this morning Do people in New York really park 15 feet from fire hydrants? ![]()
