To all Those that were talking about Hatzalah members parking illegally. If you actually read the placard it says something to the effect of: this vehicle is able to park in a authorized personnel only spot or no parking spot because it is an emergency vehicle and has to be accessible at a moments notice in the case of an emergency. So they are actually legally able to park in a “illegal” parking spot. This is only about New York Hatzalah. I do not know about Lakewood Hatzalah.
