Ask a Cop: Signs seem to point to very small no parking zone
What to make of two signs stacked on top of one another
Question: This picture is on 38th Street, just north of Cactus in Phoenix. There are quite a lot of people crossing in the middle of the block.
My safety question is this: What does that sign want us to do? No parking beginning and ending at the same spot?!
I would think it should be "No Parking" anywhere on that block, so drivers heading north could better see a person stepping out off the curb to cross in the middle of the block.
Can you explain this?
Answer: The top sign means that it is the end of the general no parking zone.
The bottom sign means the beginning of NO Parking from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
