Someday I need to go visit the four-level parking structure I assume the city of Ames, Iowa built with my parking fines when I was in college. I don't need a statue in front of it, but a tasteful plaque would be nice.

Fry: Yeah, I asked a cop once. It means "Up yours, kid".


That's not even as ridiculous as real parking signs.

The color and order of the signs matters: the top one is the street cleaning sign, everyone needs to move, no exceptions.  And the time for that is 11 am Tuesday. 

After that the red text is the rules for everyone except for district placard holders, in which case the green applies. 

And then just read. 

But realistically, if you see this sign and you are unfamiliar with the school schedule you should park elsewhere cuz it is all tow-away and they will tow your shiat.

So, basically what Fry said?


It's all tow away, that is literally all you need to see, it says that, like, 12 times. In case you miss the tow truck idling nearby.

So do you feel lucky?  Well do ya, punk?

lol

So.. What's alternate side parking? I drive on the right, but can cross the double yellow and park on the left?

I thought no one drove in NYC because there was too much traffic.

ltdanman44: new york city is one big trash can


Man, if you think NYC today is one big trash can I need to invent a time machine and take you back to 1980s NYC!
Today's NYC might as well be suburbia with how cleaned up it is.

True that. But OTOH the subway cars are less artistic these days.

California has the right idea in changing those to a TV Guide style timeline grid.

I mean, he isn't wrong. But the fact that this place is a giant trash can is why I actually like living here ... except all the days I dream about retiring upstate.

Street cleaning. One winter, when we lived in Brooklyn, alternate side was suspended for several weeks due to snow. Some dingleberry left a bunch of chicken bones in the gutter by our building that our beagle would suddenly lunge for every time we walked by and forgot the bones were there.


One: not chicken

Geotpf: Better news: Street cleaning, which has basically stopped due to alternate side of the week parking being stopped, will start up again.

/there is a reason that that policy existed


This.  Also keep in mind that you're leaving something with the footprint of a studio apartment in the public commons, everybody is doing you a huge personal favor by allowing on street parking at all in the first place.

In my head, I'm going to think that the "passenger loading" graphic is "on-site hookers only." Especially considering the hours listed.
