More NYC parking tickets were issued on 14th Street between 7th and 8th avenues than any other block in the city.  Between July 2007 and June 2008 an astounding 11,713, tickets were issued, as reported by CBS.  When one traffic agent finishes his run of this location, another follows shortly thereafter.  A map of the location is below.

The New York Times reports that, since Michael Bloomberg has become mayor, ticketing has gone up 42 percent, but the differences from even one block to the next can be astounding.   Just two blocks from the the above location only 12 tickets were written during the same period.
