It wouldn't surprise me. I've made it a mission to fight a red curb parking violation and have taken pictures of multiple cars parked illegally where I did since Oct. 1st. Last week I found the curb at 2100 avenida de la playa marked with some numbers that weren't there before and the middle of the street with signage as well. I showed the picture to someone at the S.D department of street maintenance and she said all those marking are from a utilities company. Below is a picture of that location.

Gary , I saw your vehicle the day you got the ticket, barely over the red. That sucked.

We are all talking about the same parking spot, but Julie and I parked there about a week or so before Gary got his ticket, and we too had some red on the curb that was just inside the back bumper. The problem is the missing part of the red paint on the outside of the curb. There's some on top, but if the city wants to make money on parking violations, then it should give the taxpayers a fighting decision to make a good choice by seeing a well painted and clearing defining line of where the red zone begins and ends. That's definitely not the case here. We spent 5 minutes deciding whether to leave our vehicle behind, inching forward as much as possible a couple of times, still the bumper was in some red, just not red that covered both the top and side of the curb. We were clear of the well defined area. Still we hem-hawed about leaving it. If we'd have gotten a ticket, we'd have taken photos on the spot, and we'd be in Gary's shoes with fighting it. Again good luck Gary, and may patience be with you. The last and only time I fought a speeding ticket in court, I won. We hope and think you deserve to win this one, too. That red zone is way too ambiguous. Aaron P.S. Sorry for side-jack on this thread, but rightfully fighting tickets is more important than not being able to fish one location for awhile. If that happens, it sucks, and we'll all have to launch from other spots and fish other locations. At least it's winter-time, but with a little foresight the idiots in charge should have started a project like this just when summer ended before the winter storms were on the way.

It's about saving everyone else's asses too. He's doing what we would have had to do, circumstances changed. What's the fricken' problem with that? You aside... We're not out for the good of our ourselves. It's not about a parking tutorial, but to save a fellow kayak fisherman/woman from getting a similiar ticket, certainly if we can avoid it, and fighting it themselves.. Getting a ticket violation ruins a good day of fishing, enough said, maybe.

A. It's just a joke...so laugh. It's good for the soul
B. if ya don't fit there, don't park there I've been ticketed for parking in the street sweeper zones. I was well aware too. Sometimes a ticket is the last thing on my mind..... I apologize if my sarcasm is undetectable via text. There's no surf and the weather sucks, just making playful jabs.
