When I read the title, I thought this would be about people stopping at opening bridges or other places where there was a long delay but still being in their car. Over here in the Netherlands there are signs next to bridges telling people that if the bridge is open they should turn their engines off while they sit in their car.

However, it's not that. People are leaving their engines running when they are not even in the car. I don't get this at all. Why would anyone do this ? What is the advantage ? Doesn't it also mean you have to leave the keys in the ignition making the car easier to steal ? Except in the rare circumstance of having a weak car battery and being concerned that they engine won't re-start, what is the point ? Why do they do it at all ?

This is an absolute bunch of CRAP. This will give Bloomberg and his parking agent minions more excuses to give out tickets to drivers. The HILARIOUS thing is that Mayor Billionare routinely ignores this law with his GAS GUZZLING SUVs.

All of you are ignorant SHEEP.

If only it were true, tickets being given! I confronted a man this morning outside my building and he chased me yelling profanities that he has the right to "warm up his car.." August in the hottest summer on record for some time. I have never seen a ticket given for this infraction - fear of immediate retribution ?
