NYPD doesn't enforce it either. I've got similar pictures from last summer of an LIE-type traffic jam on the bike path in Ft. Washington Park, Manhattan involving between 100-200 cars. It's all part of the "motoring mentality." So many city officials & employeers are motorists, that they sympathize with illegal behavior of motorists and do little or nothing to stop things like double parking on the streets, illegal driving & parking in the parks.
