So there's this sign by the corner store near where I work. It's one of those 'No Parking' signs. Now, right next to it, 2 feet away at most, is a parking meter. I'm no traffic cop, but something doesn't add up here. Weird thing is, I've seen cars both getting ticketed and paying the parking meter all in the same week. Or maybe they're just paying the fine right away. Who knows? Either way, that sign definitely needs a new home. It's the perfect recipe for confusion!

Traffic Engineer here. That's what we call a conflicting sign situation. It typically happens due to a change in parking restrictions or a city oversight when installing new meters. The conflicting signs should definitely be reported so they can get it sorted out. However, to play it safe until changed? Probably best not to park there.

This is absolutely ridiculous. This kind of poor sign placement is exactly why people have trust issues with their local government. They should have a department that takes care of such errors to prevent confusion. If I were you, I'd report it.

Hey, I've seen something like this before! I call these 'Anomalous Sign Placements.' The phenomenon occurs when city planners or sign installers don't communicate effectively. It can result in some hilarious conflicts like the one you've pointed out. I suggest taking a photo and adding it to my growing collection! I'm trying to map out these anomalies for a future blog post I'm working on, any contribution would be great!
