There is no such thing as a free lunch. And, as new research shows, the term "free parking" may also be just a fantasy in New York. Recently released SpotAngels data show areas and even precise locations where drivers are currently more likely to receive parking tickets. Research results led edition New York Post.
Midtown Manhattan, the Upper East and West sides, Keeps Bay, Downtown Brooklyn and Williamsburg are among the areas where drivers are most likely to find these hideous orange sheets of paper hidden under the windshield wipers, according to the study. Invoices for Fines for parking is $ 260 million between October 2020 and September 2021.
The Manhattan area most likely to blow up your meter is Keeps Bay. Here, almost 100 fines are issued for every 13 parking spaces. As SpotAngels found out, the site brought in over $ 1,3 million to the budget.
Overall, Midtown brought in the most fines of $ 13 for 338 tickets. (The study notes that there are 865 restricted parking spaces.)
Laurelton and Ozone Park proved to be the worst parking spots in Queens, with an average of 100 fines for every 13 parking spaces. The worst spot in the Bronx was Pelham Bay Park, with nine fines for 100 seats. although Fordham had the highest fines revenue of $ 1,4 million.
Staten Island was not included in the study.
In addition to the worst neighborhoods, the study also identified 10 specific locations where drivers can receive fines, many in the Midtown hot zone. Check them out below.
