 NYTimes.com Blog on Efforts to Crack Down on Engine Idling
The blog draws attention to the issue of car ideling in the winter months, reporting that:
City law generally prohibits letting the engine of a motor vehicle (other than emergency vehicles) idle for longer than three minutes while parking, standing or stopping. ...
Although the city has restricted engine idling since 1971, there is in fact little enforcement of the law, according to council members. In 2003, only 325 idling violations were issued by the city’s Police, Transportation and Environmental Protection Departments, although the number rose somewhat, to 526, in 2007. And most of the violations were issued to diesel-fueled vehicles, suggesting that there was little enforcement for passenger cars that idle.
