Welcome to New York City, the land of dollar pizza, Broadway shows, and bagels that are almost as good as those in Montreal. Let me level with you, while New York might be one of the best cities in the world, there’s one universal headache that unites both locals and tourists… New York City parking signs.
If you’ve ever thought yourself lucky to find a spot in the West Village only to look up and see a Jenga tower of signs staring right back down at you, you know what I’m talking about. You read them three times and still, somehow, you’re not sure if you’re allowed to park there. A car waiting behind you honks, so you say screw it, and pull into the spot. Now you spend the next hour stressed, you're about to donate $115 to the city's parking fund.
Worry no more. We were in the same boat as you, and that's why we built ParkUsher to solve this exact problem for us. But first, let’s break down why New York City parking signs are so notoriously confusing.
New York is a dense, constantly evolving city, and its streets are always bustling. They have to juggle: Delivery trucks, Commuters, Residents, School zones, fire hydrants, emergency lanes, Street sweepers, and construction crews.
A multitude of convoluted rules are piled on top of each other instead of a straightforward one. Ultimately, the parking signs resemble a lawyer's idea of a bad joke…. and no one's laughing.
