What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GEORGIA

According to the law in GA, you are not allowed to park within 15 feet of an intersection.
I received a ticker and my car was towed but the ticket said "parked within 30 feet" eventhough the law states 15 feet.
Also according to the law the curb should be painted yellow (According to the GA law) and it is not painted, it is gray.

If i ask for a trial would i be reimbursed for the towing fee or only the ticket fee?

Thank you,
Anat.

sorry for previously typing in caps.
and to answer your question, i was not parked withing 15 feet.

Do NOT post in all caps. It is considered rude and disrespects the forum.
Revise and repost in normal text.

I GOT A TICKET AND MY CAR WAS TOWED, YES TOWED AND THE TICKET SAID YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK WITHIN 30 FFET, WHICH IS NOT TRUE.
ALSO ACCORDING TO THE LAW THE CURB SHOULD BE PAINTED YELLOW AND IT IS NOT.

THANK YOU,
ANAT.
What code section were you charged with violating?
And, were you parked within 15 feet of the intersection?
