    Default Lack of No Parking Street Cleaning Signs on Both Sides of a Long Dead End Street

    My question involves a parking ticket from the state of: California
    On entering street, a No Parking Street Cleaning sign (no citation code on sign) was seen at entrance of north side of street. I drove into a driveway to turn around & park on the other (south) side of the street. No sign was posted on the south side of street, so I parked there along with a few other cars. My contested ticket was denied because they said only one sign was required for the whole street. I was informed that it is a dead end street, so only one sign is needed. I could not see the end of the street from where I parked so I was unaware that it was a dead end. And, there was no sign indicating "dead end" or "no outlet'" The street is too long to see the end of it. I'm not sure if only 1 sign required is true. A No Parking sign should be posted on both sides of the street. Also, from MUTCD sect 2c.26 says a "dead end" warning sign should be at entrance of street. I want to appeal at a hearing due to inadequate signage.

    EJay indeed gives you your only hope. That signage is specifically called out by the code. The state is not obliged to rigidly follow MUTCD and such arguments won't work. Further, if the street is a dead end, the failure to post DEAD END or NO OUTLET doesn't change that fact, even if there was a law requiring dead ends to be posted.

    Note that it's even possible that the sign that was there wasn't required. Read carefully the definition of "Entrance" at the end of the section. I could have an entire city that has the same street cleaning parking rules and only place one sign at the entrance to the city.
