“The city turned a six-block stretch of Kent Avenue in South Williamsburg into a no parking zone last Saturday morning — then immediately ticketed drivers in the heavily Hasidic neighborhood who didn’t move their cars on the Jewish holy day.Workers started replacing the alternate-side parking signs with “No parking” and “No standing” signs between Broadway and Clymer Street at around 6:30 am on the Shabbos — when observant Jews are not allowed to drive.“We can’t move our cars on Shabbos, so I asked the traffic cop, ‘What’s the deal?’ There was nothing we could do,” said Moti Spitzer, who was hit with a $115 fine at 9:18 am on Saturday morning for leaving his car parked — legally — near the corner of Kent Avenue and South 11th Street.” more@BrooklynPaper.com
