Parking Sign Madness Part Fourteen

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Help me out with this one. Top sign, makes complete sense. Second sign… still with you there. Third sign… trumps all above signs when it pertains to the right of the sign? I sat at this sign for a good minute trying to figure out if I could park there. Then I realized that’s what they wanted from me. Not today, DC, not today.”
