New York City's new congestion pricing initiative, a $9 toll for driving below 60th Street during peak hours, has unintentionally created a parking crisis in upper Manhattan. Drivers from outside the zone are parking in residential neighborhoods to avoid the toll, leading to severe parking shortages and conflicts among residents. Local residents report increased difficulty finding parking spots, extended search times, and even physical altercations over limited spaces. This unexpected consequence highlights the unintended negative impacts of congestion pricing on areas outside the immediate toll zone. The issue is affecting various boroughs, not just Manhattan, and is creating further strain on already limited parking resources.
