The $90 minimum fine has also been raised to $115. You see only police officers can issue moving violations but traffic agents (formerly known as “brownies”) can issue parking tickets for this “new” type of ticket. The bad news is that there are now literally 2,800s more city enforcement agents out there that are eligible to issue you a ticket for this offense. Instead, you’ll just owe a fine without any other consequences. ![]() The good news is, of course, that, if you charged under the new parking law, you will not get points or adverse insurance consequences if you get caught in an intersection blocking traffic. That is, it can still be a moving violation (as in years past) and also a parking ticket made a parking ticket which carries no points. This all changed on Jwhen gridlocking in New York City was given a dual status in New York. Gridlock violation does not apply, however, to turning motorists, only those attempting to go across an intersection and obstruct traffic. Obstructing traffic at intersection in NYC involves entering an intersection when there is insufficient room beyond the far cross walk to accommodate the motorist’s car. For as long as I have been fighting New York traffic tickets (over 20 years), VTL Section 1175 prohibiting drivers from blocking an intersection was a moving violation which carried two points. The above traffic sign warning against blocking the box or gridlocking has been rendered partially obsolete. Gridlocking or obstructing an intersection is a 2-point violation. ![]() Out-Of-State Driver with a NY Traffic Ticket. ![]() NYC Leaving the Scene of an Accident OATH Ticket. ![]()
