While I am all in favor of following laws, there are some that need to be changed because they are plainly stupid, useless, and only cause problems. The No Parking zone in front of a shul is without purpose. I understand the fire hydrants. Even the bus stops (though way too much space is sacrificed for busses). The shul thing produces zero benefit, only providing the revenue for illegal parking. This is a feature of the current climate that penalizes drivers for operating automobiles so that they can balance the city budget. It has never made sense. But with the current mayor, no one will ever consider removing these No Parking zones so that there is enough room for people to park.
