What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
Hi, I've got a ticket for parking at prohibited area, right in front of my house. I thought it was strange as I've parked there w/o any problem since May when I moved in. I later found the curb there was yellow-painted only after I took a close look. Also, I don't see any reason for that curb to be painted yellow. It's not near hydrant, stop sign or intersection as well as not blocking any driveways. (My house is near the end of cul-de-sac.) It's a bit short a curb but enough to cover a small car like mine. I even suspect it was painted by neighbor not by town's parking authority.
So I made a call to a court and pointed out 1) it was too washed out and 2) there seems to be no reason to prohibit parking there but only heard I could dispute when I appear in court. As far as I know, NJ isn't allowing trial by written declaration and I'm not sure if I can make it to go to court. How can I better handle this problem?
Many thanks in advice, Phil
