| |  "No Parking" sign, does it refer to the curb after or before the sign?
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
New Jersey (NJ)
I recently parked on a residential street where there's stiff competition to find parking. I parked my car right before a "No Parking during school hours) sign. The next sign back says the area is for residential parking only (and I have a permit for residential parking). Now, I assumed that when there's a parking sign or any kind, the area that the parking sign pertains to is where the sign is standing and after the sign. Here's a picture of my example:
______[No parking sign]____[(my car)]_____[Residential parking sign]_____
All the way to the left is in front, and the right is back (so my car is facing the left).
I received a parking ticket for a violation of "no parking during school hours" ... but I thought that the sign in front of my car is referring to the space from the sign and forward...I'm pretty sure it's like that in NYC but I'm not sure about New Jersey. Can anyone tell me if I was right? ThanksWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? |

| | | Seems like it IS residential parking EXCEPT during school hours. You can't compare to NYC because NYC DOT red/white parking signs (for restrictions) have arrows in a case like that. Sounds like these don't. But you didn't specify. |

| | | There were no arrows on either of the signs, so how can I tell which way they're referring to? I parked between the two, so it seems ambiguous as to where I can park

As I said previously, it sounds like a residential parking area EXCEPT during school hours. Only residents can park, but no one can park during those hours. |

Well then I agree, you cant compare nj to nyc. They do have thousands of one way blocks, and parking rules are constantly changing. | |
