You can park approximately:
The answer is: it depends.
78″ with a handicap sticker and a first-time violation
36″ without a handicap sticker and a first-time violation
If you have a handicap sticker and park 36 inches from the curb, you are in violation. If you park over 36 inches without a handicap sticker, this is also considered illegal.
If your car has no disabled placards or plates and parks over 36 inches from the curb on any street other than Park Avenue (or if it’s not even possible to park there), then it’s a “B” or “C” violation.
24″ without a handicap sticker and a “B” or “C” violation
The first thing you should know is that there are two different sizes of vehicles that can park legally in front of a fire hydrant. The first is 24″ without a handicap sticker and a “B” or “C” violation, which means you’re driving too large for parking at that location. It’s important to note that if your vehicle is more significant than this size, it must be parked in front of an alternate spot (like on the sidewalk).
The second size category is 16″ – 25″. Any car can use this spot as long as its tires don’t exceed these dimensions: 4 feet wide by 8 feet long, any more than 3 inches high from ground level.
18″ without a handicap sticker and a “B” or “C” violation
You can park 18″ from a fire hydrant without a handicap sticker and a “B” or “C” violation.
You can also do this if this is the first time you’ve received parking tickets.
The rules are ambiguous regarding what size vehicle you can park over the curb if you’re not disabled.
The rules are ambiguous regarding what size vehicle you can park over the curb if you’re not disabled. This means that while it’s illegal for an older adult or someone with a disability to park in this manner, there is no law against doing so.
If your car cannot fit under an overhang of any kind—such as those at intersections—it must be parked elsewhere on the street (and may need to be moved daily).
