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 11y 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 11y 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 :)
