What should the road look like (without the low dynamic range of the camera)? It looks like that's a junction and there should be a hashed white area between the slip road and the highway. At least that's what you'd see in the UK.

In Britain you can contest parking fines if the double yellow lines are patchy, because arguably you could have missed them. There's also (I think) some laws that say that in order to enforce fines regions must be correctly marked, so the council has a duty to keep them well-painted. Seems like Tesla would argue similarly here.
- dx034 9y agoParking fines are different as you cannot know about the restriction if there's no line. When driving, it's your responsibility to stay safe. If road markings and/or are bad, you have to slow down to avoid any danger. The government has some limited duty to keep roads intact but you cannot expect perfect road conditions at all times. It would've been different if there had been an object on the road that the police knew about but chose not to remove.
