Parking Violation???

[visiom88]

Hey guys,

It's been almost 2 years since I've lived in my current residence, and I have always parked my car in this circle (image below) since my family has 3 cars but is only given 2 reserved parking spaces.



But this morning, I found a warning from police department attached not only on my car, but every car parked in that circle saying that I violated the following:

§ 46.2-889. Location of parked vehicles.

No vehicle shall be stopped except close to and parallel to the right edge of the curb or roadway, except that a vehicle may be stopped close to and parallel to the left curb or edge of the roadway on one-way streets or may be parked at an angle where permitted by the Commonwealth Transportation Board or local authorities with respect to highways under their jurisdiction.

I'm just wondering if this section also applies to a semi-circle like this?

If I were you I'd either start parking parallel to the curb or leave a Krispy Kreme coupon under the windshield wiper. Somebody probably complained about "all the illegally parked cars" recently.

Now watch as everyone starts parking "Legally" and people complain about not having any space to park at all.


People complain about stupid things all the time.

Exactly! On usual days it's already hard to find a parking around here, and parallel parking on this circle means losing at least 6 parking spaces. Not only these are cars, we also have trailers parked here.

I'm 99% sure that you can only park parallel to the curb unless there are lines perpendicular to the curb.

If everyone's been ticketed, the answer must be to lodge some sort of query complaint as a group surely?
