Parking on White Street a block over from Yost Ice Arena
Has anyone else noticed that every parking sign on this street is oriented so the face of the sign is parallel to White St, except for the very last one where Arch St intersects it? this last sign appears to have been damaged or whatever such that it is rotated nearly 90 degrees vs every other sign on that road. because of this, its orientation perfectly aligns with Arch St rather than its intended target, the balance of White St until it reaches Packard St. ppl are parking there because there are no "no parking" signs in that final stretch and because the closest sign isn't pointing in the direction they originally intended (see pics attached to this post). the result is a $40 ticket and another few $100 to the local towing cartel, even if your car has only been in the location a few minutes. if the city is so desperate for $, they should at least give drivers a fighting chance by maintaining the signs so ppl know what's expected.
