Road Signs
The other day when my friends and I went to Clymer for lunch, a lot of people had the same idea and the parking lot was completely full, as was the street parking in front of the restaurant. But there was room on the street across from the restaurant and my friend parked there. As she was parking, I saw the sign which said, "No Parking Any Time," and there was a red arrow pointing across the street. At the corner before us, there was another sign which said the same thing.
Because of the arrows, we didn't know for sure what the sign meant. We thought maybe it meant not to park right by the sign. So my friend parked well ahead of where the sign was. I wasn't convinced that we should park there.
When we went into the restaurant, I asked the cashier what those two signs really meant. She said that it meant that you couldn't park anywhere there across the street. Ah, the sign should have said, "No parking between signs." Then we would have understood what it meant.
We weren't the only one parked there. It was now parked full. "What is the chance of our getting a ticket for parking there?" I asked. The answer, "We have a deputy who patrols and would give you a ticket, --is he isn't in school. He may be in school now, though."
I didn't ask what school he's going to, or how old he is, but I've been wondering. We moved our car, but the others didn't and as far as I know, Deputy was in school and no one got a ticket.
