Signs of the Times: 1942
September 1942. "New York, New York. Looking north south on Broadway at Times Square." Acetate negative by Marjory Collins for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Rush Hours
The evening parking restrictions are possibly for theatre dropoffs and pickups.
Re: What's the deal?
If I had to take a guess at the rationale behind those complicated parking rules, I’d say there’s no parking during the morning rush hour (7-10 a.m.), during the evening rush hour (5-7 p.m.), during the time when the plays begin (8-9 p.m.), then during the time when the plays let out (10:30-11:30 p.m.). Complicated, but at least not so bizarre.
Drastic change
Such drastic changes to the Times Square district after 80 years. The New York Times basically moved from the Times Tower to 229 West 43rd in the 1960s where it remained until the 2010s when it moved to 620 Eighth Avenue. Now Times Square is primarily a tourist trap. Locals avoid it like the plague unless they have a Broadway show to see.

What’s the deal with those parking rules?
They seem bizarrely complicated.
Direction
No offense to the Office of War Information, but I'm pretty sure this is looking south.
[You are right ... Marjory Collins strikes again! - Dave]
