If I had a construction vest to put on my dashboard, would it also count as a placard? Every day I see dozens of DOT and MTA staffers doing this near Borough Hall. If they don't have an actual placard, why aren't they being ticketed?

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

The vests seem to be a sign that they are working the vast local construction site. I'm not saying it's good but "it is what it is."
In de Blasio's NYC women's undergarments on dashboards will indicate zones of prostitution. Wait and see.
"Break more windows". - Bill de Blasio
why do so many city employees (cops, firefighters, medics, MTA, contractors, etc) seem to have an inability to take public transit like the rest of us?
It also shows that the construction workers and the cops all share the same trait.... being low class from Suffolk County.
No one deserves a special parking privelege. They should be ticketed and/or towed.
Same thing happens at the Jamaica Center subway station (Parsons and Archer) - cars park on the sidewalk next to the subway station, some with official plates, some clearly-labeled MTA vehicles, and some with just a vest on the dashboard.
What kind of idiot puts a $1.25 disgusting smelling tree air freshener in a new $25,000+ car ?
Because they like the smell of it, who are you to judge what they put in their car. I hate haters..
They're just warming their vests up for when they get to work on those chilly mornings.
Maybe the City worked it out with the contractors that their cars wouldn't be ticketed.
Wonderful, they have enough dough for two vests, one to wear, and one for the car.
If enough people see that a cheap orange vest on the dashboard = no ticket, then everyone will get one.
It can't hurt since it is not a counterfeit of an official document.
