**A: what did ther citation actually state?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
How far are parking signs supposed to be? I received a parking violation for street cleaing but the sign was half a block away, which is the reason I didn't see it.
Who cares?The rule in NYC is once per block.
Unfortunately, on a LEGAL ADVICE SITE, that is a bad attitude to take. "Trying to be helpful" when you have no idea can actually harm the people on here looking for accurate legal information.Meh, better to try to be helpful but clueless than to be unhelpful. You never know when a piece of info helps.
That's why you use statements like "I think." rather than "I know." Most OPs realize that this is stuff they need to do research on themselves, hence why they are coming to this site in the first place.Unfortunately, on a LEGAL ADVICE SITE, that is a bad attitude to take.

That is not necessarily true. Guesses lead to wild-goose chases which waste the time, energy and patience of people. Additionally, your "I think" can easily translate to "Here's how it is" in many people's minds...leading them to waste a lot of time, energy and money (sorry to be redundant).That's why you use statements like "I think." rather than "I know."

Better to try and be helpful with what you know than to come off as unhelpful. There are enough unhelpful people in NJ as it stands.
Thanks Waldo - this sort of thing tends to assure you won't be around here longer.Pay attention to Zigner's postings at your own risk. I don't think he knows much.
