no waiting?

[icon]

saw an unusual number of cops in bikes sa may makati earlier tonight hinuhuli yung mga nakahazard on no parking areas. pwede ka bang tiketan in this case? technically you're not really parked naman so dapat paalisin ka lang di ba? same as the rule for towing.

new money generating scheme? anybody heard about a new makati city ordinance regarding this?

IMHO, hazard lights on does not = not parked.

[Hayward]

Another scheme to fleece the ordinary motorists like us IMHO. Di talaga nauubusan ng raket kung paano makakapangotong ang mga carajo.

[oldblue]

malamang ang charge dyan eh "illegal use of emergency lights". ganyan ka ingenious ang kapulisan natin.

[seonadancing]

Alam ko sa red area di talaga pwede humarang dun e naka hazard man o hindi.

[falken]

Pagkaalam ko pag No Parking hindi talaga puwede kahit nakahazard lights ka pa.

[empy]

"standing" ang tawag sa bundok namin dun sa waiting at the curb with the hazards on.

kaya pag di talaga pwedeng bumara sa kalye ang sabi ng sign eh "no parking or standing". ewan ko lang kung matitiketan ka kung mag-stand ka sa "no parking" zone lang.

also, i was told by an LAPD acquaintance that you are legally parked the second you take your key out of the ignition. kaya daw yung mga parking enforcement hihintayin ka munang bumaba bago ka tiketan.

Ganyan talaga sa makati, ok lang magbaba at magsakay, pero pag maghihintay ka bawal talaga.

As far as I know, if you're in the car and the engine is on, that's waiting, not parking. You should bring a traffic rules and regulations dictionary with you if you do that in Makati.

ganon nga ang iniisip ko. nakakainis pag huhuliin ka esp kung di ka naman nakakatraffic, dapat paalisin ka lang dun.

Sir, depende siguro kung gaano katagal yung "waiting". Minsan kasi napapansin ko yung iba, may tao nga, at naka-hazard pa, pero talagang napakatagal nila, para ka na ring nag-park, pagkakaiba lang, yung vehicle may tao sa loob.

[silhouette]

kung nakaharang siguro at ayaw umalis, dapat ngang tikitan. lalo na sa mga very busy streets.

[flakez]

sa intra dati nung nakahaard ako hindi ako hinuli, pero ung nasa harap ko na nakapark tinow. hehehe

[niky]

If they're waiting too long, make them leave, but it's not parking until then engine is off.

It's inconvenient to other motorists, yes, but double jeopardy is such a dishonest way to discourage waiters. They should merely put "no waiting" signs in the proper areas.

At bakit yung mga p*t*ng *n*ng jeep na sobrang tagal maghintay sa mga stops di naman hinuhuli, eh?

Isama na rin natin yung mga hinayupak na FX Drivers.......

[nugundam93]

It really doesn't matter if you're inside your vehicle when your park on a "No Parking" Zone, you're still parking on that area even when your hazard light is ON. By the way, we need to stop pinging on our law enforcement personnel. If they do their job, we label them with another scheme that they are implementing, but if they won't do anything we label them lazy. Damn if they do, damn if they don't.

good point. But shouldn't they just ask the people to leave instead of giving them a ticket? magulo kasi implementation of the law, kahit sa no parking zone, they won't tow you if you're inside your car. It's not as much having your hazard lights on, but the presence of the driver inside the car.

normally sa ganyang kaso na naka-on ang engine, nakahazard, but illegally parked, obstruction ata ang violation mo. since you're not suppose to park there, you're already obstructing the flow of traffic (if parked on the road side).

Lalo na kung nasa red fire lane ka. Was ticketed once while waiting for my wife at my usual spot. Did not contest it dahil mali ko talaga yon. Galit nga lang si missis sa pulis hehe.
