That's a great one! But as you say, it doesn make you wonder if these drivers can actually read?!

I bet the bus driver wan't too happy about it all?!

That's great that you managed to move it though - I bet that picture is classic!

Gail, I just had to laugh at your story!

It must have been so frustrating having to manoever like that! Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing?!

When I lived in the Netherlands, you could only park on one side of the street and we lived on the other. However, if you parked a certain way (the street was tiny as always

), you could prvent my dad from getting of the driveway! Honestly!

I think my neighbors painted a square with an X in it on the actual bricks of the road (brick road..ha)in front of thier driveways. Or maybe they had the city do it.

Once my mum got a sign that read in english not to park infront of so and so's house because it was thier parking spot! Parking spots along the street are not assigned and she wasnt in anyones driveway or otherwise impending traffic.

Gosh, now that is cheeky!!

It's funny how people seem to get stuck in their ways and want the same space all the time!!

Frustrating situation though...

That happens way too often in frankfurt

i found some links for no parking signs!
Traffic, Parking & Management Signs
Signs from Safety Signs - they have a bunch of no parking signs... this one is my fave!
Sign Outfitters
Build a Sign - says you can design your own sign
Sign Monster
hopefully, you can order a sign from one of these places!

As the area is part of the regeneration, they haven't really got anything 'sorted' yet - except for where they want to build even more new places!

Actually my dear, I'm pretty sure you can, under he disablity discrimination act because of your poorly knee.

You can't walk for far can you? Therefore you need to be able to drive.
