Riverside Boulevard in Manhattan has a new law – cars cannot be parked on the street from 6am-4pm, but limo services can.
A two-block stretch of parking space was recently converted to a limousine-only lane, allowing black cars to wait at curbside, protected from tickets by red signs newly installed by the city’s Transportation Department.
Although dedicated black-car zones aren’t that unusual in front of New York’s office buildings, they’re not common in residential areas.
The move came after many complaints about black cars double-parking in front of residential buildings on Riverside Boulevard.
Long Island party buses and limos that pick up passengers by arrangement is a perk of the corporate life, so why should the every day person be affected by it?
Package delivery trucks, mail vehicles and any car that’s not a limo, are now going to get ticketed for double parking since the lane is now a dedicated limo zone.
The newly-painted lanes are causing mixed reactions.
The Transportation Department said residents had complained that double-parked cars were a danger to traffic passing along Riverside Boulevard.
Only time will tell if this new law will be a challenge, or a step in the right direction for New York traffic.

This is a nice blog and more nice the idea or rule applied at Riverside Boulevard in Manhattan to make roads free from unnecessary vehicles apart from limo service vehicles. It will reduce the traffic volume and also increase accessibility for hiring limo for any person. Thanks for sharing all this.

Most dental plans cover preventative care
extremely well, and perhaps pay for things such as fillings somewhat well.
If a canker sore formed because of a procedure your dentist performed, it will probably heal on
its own in a week or so. Keep in mind this isn’t an all-inclusive list as colleges change curriculum often and many of them are adding crime scene and forensic investigation degrees every year.
