Practice question · Parking

May you park along a curb that has been lowered so people can reach the sidewalk?

The rule

You may not park or stand along a curb that has been cut or lowered, or built, so people can get onto the sidewalk. The manual gives no distance for this.

You may not park or stand along a curb that is lowered or cut for sidewalk access. Keep that curb clear.

From the New York State Driver's Manual, page 43. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
