Parking

Some of the more common parking complaints we respond to are:

1.  48 hour- No vehicle can park on any City street for more than 48 hours, without being moved.

2.  Sidewalks- Do not block driveways of others, or any sidewalks.

3.  Stored vehicle- Vehicles parked in rear yards must have current tags, and be in running condition.

4.  For Sale- No vehicles are permitted on City property with a sale sign.

Children At Play Signs

At first consideration, it might seem that this sign would provide protection for youngsters playing in a neighborhood;  it doesn't.
Studies conducted in cities where such signs were widely posted in residential areas show no evidence of having reduced pedestrian crashes, vehicles' speeds or legal liability.  In fact, many types of signs which were installed to warn of normal conditions in residential areas failed to achieve the desired safety benefits.  Further, if signs encourage parents to believe that children have an added degree of protection - which the signs do not and cannot provide - a great disservice results.
Obviously, children should not be encouraged to play in the roadway.  The "Children at Play" sign is a direct and open suggestion that it is acceptable to do so.  Technically, it is lillegal for children to play in the street.
"Children at Play" signs do not fulfill a need, because children should not be playing in the street, and do not convey a clear, simple message, other than implying to the children that is acceptable to play in the street.
