The individual challenges a parking ticket, asserting that they were not parked in a safety zone but rather in a buffer zone while waiting to safely enter the travel lane. The document outlines relevant regulations and presents evidence, including diagrams and maps, to support the claim that the buffer zones were properly navigated. The submission emphasizes the incorrect description of the infraction that led to the ticket issuance.

1. Exhibit 1
This is the online image of the parking ticket.
The Rule I was charged with was
misdescribed. I did not park in a safety zone.
Rather, I exited my curbside parking space, drove
across the buffer zone on Barclay Avenue,
and was stopped waiting for traffic to pass
so I could safely enter the travel lane of the roadway
when this ticket was issued.

2. Title 34, Chapter 4-12:
(s) Crossing buffer zones.
(1) For the purposes of this subdivision, a buffer
zone is defined as an area in the roadway,
created by white lines, that is used to separate a
parking lane from a travel lane or a bicycle lane
from a travel lane, as indicated on the diagram
below. [see, Exhibit 3]
Exhibit 2
I was not parked in a safety zone 4-08(f)(6) when this ticket was issued. I was stopped in
a buffer zone 4-12(s)(2) waiting for traffic to pass to safely enter the travel lane of the roadway
