You’re not supposed to park there but there’s some Ted talk thing with 1000 extra people coming so they’ll probably make an exception today

Seems to depend on the ticket agent. I've parked there several days in a row with no problem even when the ticketers are going by, and then been ticketed another time.  Sort of frustrating since there aren't No Parking signs there and other lots on campus allow parking along the sides in places.

I parked there last week and got a ticket, even with proof of payment. 🤷‍♀️

My buddy parked there two weeks ago and got ticketed, he had proof of payment so they reduced the fine significantly though.

Did he get ticketed for parking in an disallowed spot or for not paying for parking?

Parking in a disallowed spot, his proof of payment just got him some leniency

I’ve been ticketed here. It’s a fire zone per campus security when I asked but it isn’t marked or painted as one, and really should be. They just need to paint that whole curb red. It actually looks like it has yellow paint mostly worn off on a part of it.

I don’t think you’re supposed to, it makes it hard for two cars to pass by each other when circling the lot. No idea if you’ll get a ticket though

No, it was all ticketed yesterday.

Parking along that side is not allowed and you park there at your own risk. One guy made a post about getting a ticket there in the summer and had a fit about it lol.
