Holiday parking regulations in New York City are similar to standard Sunday rules, as per DOT. The driver finds more flexibility in securing a parking space, as alternate side of the street parking is suspended during assigned holidays.
Metered parking is not in effect and as a result, parking at a meter is free of charge. Stopping and standing are also permitted in areas that at other times are prohibited.
It is illegal at all times, regardless of other holiday parking regulations to double park in New York City. By doing so will incur a ticket and fine.
You must not park in front or around fire hydrants for emergency access to it case of a fire. The curbs surrounding the hydrant usually have paint as a parking indicator. An auto must park at least 15 feet away from the hydrant on either side of it.
Drivers must comply with any parking directive on a sign entitled "no parking anytime" or "do not park anytime." The key word "anytime" pertains to 365 days a year.
