Unauthorized parking on boulevard

Re: If THEY don't know what you did ...

I read it the way Rob does.

Which is that its illegal to park on the boulevard hanging over the sidewalk or road. or to part on private property hanging over the sidewalk or road.

mainly because I don't see the point of the 2nd comma otherwise.

my very basic point is this

In statutory interpretation, you assume that all words are there for a reason.

If the intent was to ban parking on boulevards entirely, it should imply say..

"(7) on any portion of a boulevard."

If the intent was as Gatekeeper indicated. the section should end there; or it could say

"(7) on any portion of a boulevard; (a) or on public or private property, and projects over a curb into the traveled portion of the highway;"

Either construction results in the interpretation that Gatekeeper envisions, but if that was the case.. I can't seem to find a place for these words

"in such a manner that the vehicle is partly on a boulevard"

If these words are NOT further qualified by the following "and projects over a curb into the traveled portion of the highway;"

Then I can't help but think the words are useless, and drafted by some ****** articling student who got all Cs in law school.

read it and understand it as you wish

to the OP, the ticket will stick, I hope not, but it more than likely will, best case scenario, they might reduce the fine, but cancel they will not.

good luck

maybe you can show a precedent for your interpretation, otherwise I see no need to defer to it.

That portion of the driveway, below the sidewalk, is the boulevard. When I went to contest my first ticket I was told by the courts that you cannot use that portion for parking.

I asked a ticket fairy this question literally a few days ago. 5 of them were there, and they all told me that you can park on the boulevard after the sidewalk..BUT they will ticket you if someone complains. They ONLY ticket those on complaint
