Well, it finally happened.
I got a ticket yesterday. You'd be surprised how easy it is to get up earlier now, to get a real parking spot. :-) I feel for the latecomers though... there will always be latecomers every day, and they will get a ticket sooner or later. |

Was it because you were parked in a striped area or a sign-posted no-parking area?

It was a striped area with no signs posted. The stripes imply that it is a no parking zone.
It seemed like everyone got a ticket at Horner yesterday. |

Take a look at the Date..........it's the last 10 days of the month. You know how the trend goes...even though "they" won't admit it. I'm always cautious from the 20th til the end of each month.[;)]

yeah, i figured they won't do it every day, but I still won't take any more chances. It's not worth it.
I need to be at work on time anyway. So I should use this as an excuse to get to work on time. :-) |

I got a ticket, too :(
It was the first time I had ever parked on striped lines, but I thought it was acceptable since everyone and their mother does it. Is it also illegal to park along the curbs where everyone parks? |

I think all unmarked curb spots and striped spots are illegal. But this seems a little ridiculous since there will be these illegal parkers every single day, in huge numbers. They will get randomly ticketed one or more times a month.

quote: Do you really think they look at dates? I mean, why? If they are trying to reach a quota, why wouldn't they try to exceed the quota and write tickets at any time during the month? I've always heard that law enforecement ticket more at certain times, but it doesn't make sense to me. |

Because writing tickets at any time of the month will require more work, and exceeding quotas may result in more complaints about lack of parking spots, which again results in more work.
For myself, the solution is simple, I just have to get to the lot by 7:15, which will get me a real parking spot and also get me to work on time. How about those of you have to get to the lot after 7:45? What do you plan to do? |

One day....Just one day in that Horner Road lot could fill many quotas towards the end of the month (for them)....but.....this is pure speculation. Oh......btw....for those who watched that new show last night THEM....it's not the same...lol [:D]
