Joe got a NYC parking ticket, but the arrow didn't appear to point to Joe's parking space. Is there a defense to this unjust parking ticket? Yes...the "Arrow" defense. Here are the exhibits Joe submitted to support his defense that the arrow was pointing in the wrong direction.

1. Joe
Summons Number: 123456789-0

2. This is a Google Map image of 154 Haven
Avenue, at the intersection of West 173rd
Street, NYC.
!
The place of occurrence entered on the
No Standing parking ticket was:
!
"Opposite 154 Haven Avenue"
!
Exhibit 1

3. This is a Google Map Street View image of the property located at 154 Haven Avenue,
consisting of a large building and parking lot. (The insert is an enlargement of
the street address)
Exhibit 2

4. This is a Google Map Street View of the property located at 154 Haven Avenue, and the
No Standing Anytime sign located opposite 154 Haven Avenue. The place of occurrence
entered on the parking ticket encompasses a huge length of curb space on both sides of
the intersection of West 173 Street
Exhibit 3

5. This is a Google Map Street View of the curb space from the No Standing sign to the
corner of 173rd Street. The property at 154 Haven Avenue extends beyond the other side
of the intersection, as shown on Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 5
Exhibit 4
West
173 Street

6. Exhibit 5
There is no record of the No Standing sign ( See, NYC DOT
Parking Regulation Map)

7. This is a Google Map Street View of the red No Standing sign opposite 154 Haven
Avenue. The arrow points to the building across the street, not to the intersection of West
173 and Haven Avenue.
!
A Parking sign regulates the parking spaces in the direction of the arrow. This parking
sign does not regulate the parking spaces opposite 154 Haven Avenue (as entered on the
parking ticket)
Exhibit 6

8. Exhibit 7
The arrow on the bottom of the No Standing
sign points to the property across the street,
not to the parking space in front of or behind the
car in the image (Google Map Street View)

9. Exhibit 8
This is a "live" photograph of
the No Standing sign taken after my
parking ticket was issued. This parking
sign does not regulate the parking
spaces opposite 154 Haven Avenue
because the arrow points across the
street not down the block
!
Was this a legal parking sign
installed by the NYC DOT? If so,
why wasn't it displayed on the NYC DOT
Parking Regulation Map? (Exhibit 5)

10. Exhibit 9
This is another "live" photograph taken
after my parking ticket was issued. The
arrow on the No Standing sign points
in the wrong direction, and therefore,
the parking rule displayed on the sign
does not regulate the parking spaces
on either side of the sign.
