Men's Vogue offers a fun account of rolling a smart in the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan- they even get some tips on pimping your ride for max street cred. Our question on back-in parking (is it legal?) is also addressed:
"I knew, rationally, that the smart was the ideal car (if that's not an oxymoron these days) for New York, or any city. Like football, parking here is a game of inches, and in the smart I was able to gobble up all those maimed parking spots, near hydrants and crosswalks and bus stops. Backed in perpendicular to the curb, the smart could conquer even smaller spots; in New York, however, angle parking is illegal. So, too, is putting two smarts in one metered space. "I'll ticket the second car," a NYPD traffic enforcement officer sternly warned me."
Well that answers our question. Where to go from here? My next step will be to find out if there's any long term thinking on the subject over at NYC Transportation.
