     1    Section 1. Section 1173 of the vehicle and traffic law, as amended  by
     2  chapter 603 of the laws of 1970, is amended to read as follows:
     3    § 1173. Emerging  from  alley, driveway, private road or building.  1.
     4  The driver of a vehicle emerging from an alley, driveway,  private  road
     5  or  building shall stop such vehicle immediately prior to driving onto a
     6  sidewalk extending across  any  alleyway,  building  entrance,  road  or
     7  driveway,  or in the event there is no sidewalk, shall stop at the point
     8  nearest the roadway to be  entered  where  the  driver  has  a  view  of
     9  approaching traffic thereon.
    10    2.  (a)  In  any  city having a population of one million or more, the
    11  driver of a vehicle emerging from a parking garage shall stop such vehi-
    12  cle immediately prior to driving onto a sidewalk  extending  across  any
    13  exit  from  such  parking  garage, or in the event there is no sidewalk,

    22  vehicle  in  an action based on negligence against any operator or owner
    23  of a motor vehicle.
