Section 4-08 (f) (2) of the NYC Traffic Rules states:
(2) Driveways. In front of a public or private driveway, except that it shall be permissible for the
owner, lessor or lessee of the lot accessed by a private driveway to park a passenger vehicle
registered to him/her at that address in front of such driveway, provided that such lot does not
contain more than two dwelling units and further provided that such parking does not violate any
other provision of the Vehicle and Traffic Law or local law or rule concerning the parking,
stopping or standing of motor vehicles. The prohibition herein shall not apply to driveways that
have been rendered unusable due to the presence of a building or other fixed obstruction and,
therefore, are not being used as defined in §4-01(b) of these rules.
A driveway is defined as (Section 4-01(b)):
Driveway. Every entrance or exit authorized pursuant to applicable law and used by vehicular
traffic to or from lands or buildings abutting a roadway.
