A citizen received a Statement of offence <\/em>for having parked her vehicle after 3:00 P.M. in a zone where street parking is reserved for residents (SRRR) between \u201c9h\u20133h\u201d.<\/p>\n

She submits that the hours appearing on the parking sign are confusing. \u00a0She had understood that the zone was no longer reserved after 3:00 P.M. when, in fact, it was so only after 3:00 A.M.\u00a0 In other words, vehicles without parking stickers can park in this zone only from 3:00 A.M. until 9:00 A.M.<\/p>\n

Certain that she cannot be the only one in this situation, she makes representations to the Borough to try to have the signage modified, unsuccessfully.\u00a0 She then contacts the OdM.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a brief analysis, the OdM<\/strong> agrees that the hours showing on the sign (\u201c9h\u20133h\u201d) are indeed confusing.\u00a0 We begin discussions with the Borough.<\/p>\n

The SPVM is asked to analyse, on a sampling basis, the tickets previously issued in similar circumstances (same kind of tickets in a zone having the same signage, in the same area). \u00a0These verifications confirm quite convincingly that these signs are confusing.<\/p>\n

Our investigation and visits on site also show that these parking zones are seldom used by drivers not holding a SRRR sticker, when they are not reserved to residents.<\/p>\n

Different scenarios are considered to resolve this problem. \u00a0At the end, the Borough decides to reserve these zones for residents holding a SRRR sticker at all times, thereby eliminating any risk of confusion.\u00a0 30 streets are affected by this change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
