Very common filthy habit. See it around my building all the time. And sometimes the genius is still sitting in the car looking guilty AF.

Want to see why they call me 'The Keymaster' ?

Ticketed? it should be towed
robin_tern t1_j4qc0wr wrote
Why don't they reverse a little and park before the stop sign where the crossing won't be blocked?
Robin.

Looks like he could've parked there all night smh
SonOfMcGee t1_j4qdqfp wrote
He will surely get a ticket if he’s in the way of the street sweeper.
If he isn’t, he won’t.

Stripped of everything internal, drained of fluids. Towed into the Passaic River to eventually become part of the artificial reef.

We all bee there desperate at 2am after driving around for 30 minutes just wanting to go home. But for god sake you have to move the car before the world starts when you do this.
And this one is egregiously bad! Like i get handing into a bit in desperation but this screams asshole - especially if they dont out at like 6am to move it.
scubastefon t1_j4qfij6 wrote
There was prob a car there when they first parked. Why does thr “a few blocks from a school” part matter? I do t think it sucks any more or less when it’s near a school.

This happens alllll the time where I live. And no one does anything.

I see this every single day -- seriously, every day -- at the crosswalk on Sip leading into the back entrance of JSQ PATH, near the bus area. Every SINGLE day a car is parked in that crosswalk. I've never seen a more entitled group of people in my life than drivers in Jersey City.

Damn, looks like your house keys need some black paint introduced to them

Because now you have school kids going into the street to get around this douche

On the WOTS app, there is an issue category for blocking the crosswalk. They usually respond within the hour.
GreenTunicKirk OP t1_j4qseks wrote
YESSSSS I commute out of JSQ too and see it ALL THE TIME and it’s like … why?
MediumRareBacon_ t1_j4qskmd wrote
key it
GreenTunicKirk OP t1_j4qsnq0 wrote
Oh dude totally. I completely get it. But yeah, get up and move your car ASAP
GreenTunicKirk OP t1_j4qt8ks wrote
Because little kids having to dodge a car while there is regular morning and truck route traffic going, while people are pushing their strollers and wheelchairs, isn’t too cool man.
Being parked there also reduces visibility for folks in the vehicles looking to turn.
That’s why it matters. The people that need to use the crosswalk very much need it. This person decided that their shitty Honda was more important than people’s means of egress.

Call the parking authority when parks this egregiously illegally. Easy google search

Cheers mate, downloaded
Edit: ooof these reviews ain’t good lol

That’s the legal way to do it. It’s supposed to be 30 feet from the stop sign……..
spypol t1_j4r4a2r wrote
WOTS, even though it's a shitty app, still works very well once you posted the issue. Sometimes it takes a few tries to post, just persist.

We know many drivers are terrible and will do this, it's also the city's fault for allowing this to be possible.

I see this all over Jersey City. Such selfish drivers.

I've had much better luck reporting issues after the recent app update.

Do they actually do anything? The other day I saw a parking authority person in a parking lot and asked them to ticket someone parked in a crosswalk directly in front, and they just blew me off.

Oh I need these ….
GreenTunicKirk OP t1_j4rjx07 wrote
Agreed, enforcement needs to happen or the “rules” mean nothing
burlybroad t1_j4rrzfl wrote
I’m kidding pls don’t call them they damaged my suspension
mastershake29x t1_j4rskq6 wrote
To be clear, I mean "enforce" by infrastructure. A curb bump-out should be built here post-haste in preparation for an entire intersection/road re-design.
Jpiff t1_j4rsza7 wrote
It depends on the employee. If they get enough complaints of the same nature they’ll do something because a supervisor will get involved. I’ve had so so luck with it. Sometimes they get there in an hour other times I’ve had them take 4 plus hours. I only know this because they send a notice when they close out your complaint
Javesther t1_j4rz979 wrote
Call the parking authority or the police to have him issued . Send the picture to the mayors office , see if he cares.

So you're saying they would save this POS's car??
That's a bonus. Someone call them!

I use WOTS whenever someone parks in front of my driveway for more than an hour. The cops are usually there within 15 minutes with a ticket for them. It’s a great system.

Idk man, I've seen cops leave their cars on the crosswalk to get a taco. 😕

adamatic_521 t1_j4uw0pi wrote
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Yes, it puts school kids in danger but parking in a crosswalk also means this person is blocking an ADA curb ramp so anybody using a mobility assistance device is also being put in harms way. This is a complete dick move no matter where it happens. Also shocking to me that there’s a feeling that it’s fine to do this overnight so long as you move the car before 6 AM or something as if people never leave the house when it’s dark out.
scubastefon t1_j4uyxph wrote
That’s what I was getting at. I push a stroller pretty often and when the crosswalk is blocked with a car on a busier street it does actually feel significantly more dangerous.
imaluckyduckie t1_j4x8ix8 wrote
Yes more times than not. If nothing else, it provides accountability via a digital fingerprint. An officer has to look at the complaint and any supporting photos and they have to dispatch an officer to the scene. They're tracked on how long it takes them to respond, and they are tracked on how they disposition the issue. There is no record created when you just talk to an officer on the street
Puzzlekitt t1_j5shrgl wrote
Wots has never worked for me! Thats for police issues not parking. The parking authority phone number has a specific department that handles calls for this and they send a ticketing cart pretty fast.

Call Parking Authority, have this car ticketed.
