After living in New York for a while, I came to the conclusion that one good way to improve quality of life would be to simply ban on-street parking everywhere in Manhattan and in the denser areas of the boroughs. The only people allowed to stand or park should be certain official vehicles (police, ambulance, etc) and vehicles with a valid delivery permit that would need to be purchased. Anybody else would be ticketed and towed. This would free up extra space for traffic on most roads, reduce the number of vehicles in circulation in the city, and eliminate economically stupid outcomes like UPS trucks constantly getting tickets from fleet-footed traffic officers while they are making deliveries.

- araneae 16y agoNot all handicapped have wheelchairs. I have a friend who has to drive for long distances, but they use a cane for short distances.
- bd_at_rivenhill 16y agoI thought about this for a while, and I can't remember ever seeing a parking place on the street that was reserved for handicapped. At most garages, you hand over your keys right after you drive in so I don't think garage parking would be too bad for handicapped people.
