In NYC, what are the regulations for handicapped parking ?
You must have a NYC handicapped parking sticker or placard (out-of-state and other NYS stickers/placards are not eligible) to qualify to use parking spaces designated for handicapped individuals in NYC. People with disabilities must apply for this special NYC handicapped parking permit. This permit allows the driver to park in all “No Parking” zones except those marked for taxis; “No Parking” and “No Standing” spaces authorized for doctors, press, diplomats, and government agencies; at parking meters for free; and in “No Standing–Trucks” zones, except during specified restricted hours. Parking is not allowed in other zones, at fire hydrants, bus stops, or crosswalks. To apply, call (718) 433-3100 or visit the Parking Authority online.
