NYC Standing Ticket, but paid Muni MeterWhat is the name of your state? NY I was parked in midtown, 38th street, between 5th and 6th. There was a sign that said Commercial Standing Only, muni-meter 6AM - 7PM. So I paid $2.00 for an hour on the muni meter and put the receipt on the dash. When I returned 1/2 hour later, I had a $115 ticket for "No Std Com Mtr Zone" My contention is that it said "No Standing" and not "No Parking" The Muni Meter itself said nothing about being commercial only. It is just confusing. Any advice or should I just pay the fine and move on? Thanks! James

| Standing and parking are synonymous in this case. I take it yours was not a commercial vehicle?

| Actually... "No Standing" is stricter than "No Parking" in NYC.

Parking. The standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, otherwise than temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading property or passengers. Standing. The stopping of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, otherwise than temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in receiving or discharging passengers. Yep - I do believe you are correct. But, in our OP's case, standing and parking are synonymous, since he wasn't involved in loading or unloading ANYTHING

| True he was not unloading anything, but I just thought it should be pointed out in because OP said Quote:
