Question about No Parking signs rule that I never heard mentioned

The answer is...It depends where you are at....There is no universal rule...

 

I've seen no-parking signs that say "no parking between signs" (there were two signs), "no parking within 20 feet of this sign," and "no parking beyond this sign." Also single no-parking signs at wide spots on highways. So it does vary. There may not be just one answer to your question. You could run afoul of a local ordinance and only learn of it when somebody writes a ticket.

 

If you want a truck driver to park his rig someplace, just put up a NO PARKING sign and he or she will be sure to park there.

 

from what I can tell if you are in a truck no parking does not apply to you. at least it looks that way to me because i see trucks parked in no parking ares every day!

 

As an ex-architect I have to agree. If you are on private property, the property Owner can be vauge. Remember that paved (paved/lit/drained/landscaped/striped/secured) real estate is expensive and truck combinations take up a LOT of square footage. Property Owners can be ######## at times, wanting you to pickup and deliver, but not wanting you to stick around a minute more than necessary. Having helped layout many parking lots on paper and on computer, you come to realize that Owners like to squeeze every square foot and every parking space they can out of their Site, and don't like to give anything away.

Free parking is expensive to provide. We will be seeing less and less of it IMHO.

 

Considering it's at a customer, the best answer is who knows what they intended. In fact, the whole area was most likely supposed to be no parking originally then they decided to allow it later so they probably don't care.

Im parked in front of one now. LOL

 

I once parked in 8 handicaped spots at once and had no problem.







Did i mention it was when delivering rebar to a water park in a snow storm.

But back to the op. It varies when and where. Local laws and enforcement can be part of it. Site security can be another issue. Are you parking there for 5 minutes or for your 10 hour break? Too many different things to consider to give a one size fits all answer.

 

The simplest answer is this.

That sign means a LEO can interperet it whichever way he pleases.
