is it illegal to put your car in neutral while going down a slope in New York state? Take into account that there are no stop signs, and red lights on this hill or during time of neutral.

1I can see this is getting close votes, presumably because it isn't a notable claim. The only reason I don't also vote to close, is that it got a simple, definitive answer within minutes, which addressed the "not worth bothering" and probably the "attacking a strawman" aspects of non-notable claims.– Oddthinking ♦Nov 23, 2015 at 0:42

It was as of 2012. Article 33 section 1216 of the New York Vehicle and Traffic act states:
§ 1216. Coasting prohibited. The driver of any motor vehicle when traveling upon a down grade shall not coast with the gears of such vehicle in neutral, nor with the clutch disengaged.
