While in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago, I incidently parked on a side of a street that was going to be cleaned that day. Lucky me, I was issued a ticket, in the rain. Lovely. Good news, it’s only $50.00 California Dollars, whereas if you are issued a ticket in DC, you’re looking at about $120-150.00 US Dollars per incident. Also, hope you have all your taxes and registrations up-to-date otherwise you’ll be charged for that too. Ask Doug. As it turned out, there was a sign stating that I wasn’t supposed to park there, unfortunately, it was facing the houses. How in the world can I know where to park when the signs are facing a different direction? I rang up the LA parking people and they (in a very robotic-like way, told me ‘if there is a sign, you’re going to have to pay.’
Yay.
So I wanted to know the legal parameters regarding sign usage in Los Angeles. Seems like this is harder than is should be (someone doesn’t want section codes googled). Unfortunately/Fortunately, I ran across an interesting site that distracted me for a little while. Maybe you’ll find it a helpful outlet for yourself too.
Enjoy!
