• How to park in New York

Any big city, by definition, has a bunch of traffic conditions. With the development and growth of the municipality, they are becoming more and more complications, often becomes chronic. With these complications residents have to be considered, and city planners captains and rulers - to fight. The main viral factor of all the problems is certainly a vehicle population growth.

Fighting traffic urban disease can pass in different ways: somewhere trying to build more roads, where some are betting on the development of public transport networks, where some are trying to restrict the entry of transport in the center, where a build more parking areas, and where -That draw more than parking spaces.

As I understand it, in spite of the different solutions, find a place not that easy to park in Manhattan. Such as the function of parking, for me it remains a mystery (as to leave on time?):

A very salient point for New York: Due to the small capacity for parking, some drivers are pressed very close to other cars. As a result: to rescue his car from a strong embrace from both sides held tightly parked cars, drivers have to "shove" the neighbors. If you look closely, many machines were repulsed bumpers (which, incidentally, is not avtoproisshestviem).
