Exactly how the state Vehicle and Traffic Law applies to parking lots continues to evolve. Though many are privately owned, people can’t just do as they please. Try driving drunk in one and see what the cops think of that. They, and the courts, will probably tell you that the law applies to parking lots open to the public much like it does to roads.
But apparently it does not in every respect, which is why the state Legislature passed a bill this session specifically saying police must be allowed to enforce the law against reckless driving in parking lots. We urge Gov. Hochul to sign the legislation.
