Imagine you are driving through Seattle one morning. The skies are gray and there is a light rain. Up ahead you think you see a parking spot. There is a car coming up behind you.
You glance over to see if it is OK to park there. This is the sign you see. :x

@matthew - No. I was actually walking through this neighborhood when I saw the sign.

DC street parking is afflicted with that stuff, as well: http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/dc/confusing-parking-signs-leave-dc-drivers-wondering-072910

@Drew - Nice find! I lived in the DC area from 1998-2000. I don’t think I found a parking spot the entire time I lived there. I just kept driving around the beltway. ;)

Is this sign around a university district? based on the dates it seems like a football parking sign.

@thomas - You may be right. This was a photo I took last year and just located. I thought it was Capitol Hill, but your logic makes more sense.
