Nobody likes getting a parking ticket, so Primo Spot is here to help. With Primo Spot, you can look up New York City parking rules/signs without having to drive around in circles. [via]

Unfortunately, my initial experience poking around the map gave me less than satisfying results. In my neighborhood (10001), more than half of the signs I clicked on turned out to be wrong [at the time of this post]. If I didn’t know any better and followed the signs on this site, I would be parking MILES away from my apartment at night.

Thankfully, there is a way to report incorrect sign info (but with that many signs wrong — there are a lot — I don’t even know if I want to bother). Still, the site is a good resource for quick parking reference in most neighborhoods in New York City. With enough user-corrected info, this site could become very valuable to those that drive in New York City.
