So much armchair quarterbacking in this thread. As a long time LA resident, these signs are a huge improvement over the current system of just adding multiple signs on the same pole. Many times I have to spend 5 minutes calculating whether or not you can park, and for how long. Here's a perfect example, and not unusual to see. https://i.imgur.com/wyQsMTv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wyQsMTv.jpg I can't wait for these new signs. "Perfect is the enemy of good."
- jonchang 12y agoAdvantages of new signs - consolidates parking restrictions in one easy to read graphic Advantages of old signs - can easily swap out restrictions by adding or removing signs IMO it's not very difficult once you get used to it. Remember that the default is "parking is always OK" and add restrictions as you read top to bottom. Of course, each municipality may have its own "default" rules. The City of Los Angeles can tow you after 72 hours on the same street, and Pasadena has no parking 2-6am every day.
- rtpg 12y agoI like the design of the new signs, but is it easy to read? I'm not a driver and I have pretty bad vision, but it seems like it would be hard to understand from the driver's seat.
- comex 12y agoRegarding "easily swap out" - In theory, swapping out restrictions should be a matter of checking some boxes on a web form or something, which would generate an appropriate image and send it to a printer, with - based on a quick Google - at most a few days' turnaround time, for (possibly well) below $100 per sign. In practice, their process will probably be less efficient :)
- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoThe one at the top is obviously photoshopped.
- justintan 12y agoI don't think it is. The photo quality just sucks. The top one indicates Street Sweeping.
