i got a parking ticket today on James St. (Queen/James) the offence was "STOP SIGNED HIGHWAY DURING PROHIBITED (TIMES/DAYS). tHE TIME WAS 5:24PM. I see bikes parked on that street ALL THE TIME EVERYDAY! I've tried googling but no luck of finding the details on the infraction. It's a $60 ticket I was called in to work to fill in for somebody it was a short shift now with the parking ticket I just worked for NOTHING damn it.

What were the prohibited times/days on the signs?

It's a huge pain but if you do challenge it, you can count on the prosecutor offering to settle for half when you go to court...

i didn't think there were any....i see cars AND bikes parked there all day long there's a pay and display metre. I've seen groups of bikes that park there from the morning time and they dont leave till night time.

I found this website which gives some interesting information:

It also made me take a closer look at the ticket that I paid today and lo and behold, my plate number is wrong on the ticket. I could have gotten it canceled because the information was wrong. Darnit!

Just looked up James...signs have changed since construction finished...are you a red/silver F4i? I was there Sunday and many spots have disappeared and the whole east side is confusing...at first glance!

Specifically, look at the signs on the east side and the worn out paint marks that spot cars. Things overlap now...didn't before. The lines are as worn as any on any street before being repainted.
I was there Sunday, and I'm somewhat regular there since 2000, and I was a bit confused.

spoke with the parking enforcement officer today stupid me for missing the signs, just to clarify for others i've taken some photo's and marked where you shouldn't park. The stretch where it says no standing expect minimum a $60 ticket (and possible tow as well). Where i marked fire route I made a mistake its actually supposed to be fire hydrant. I can't remember off the top of my head how much but its a hefty one for sure. THere's more no standing / no parking on the east side further up that street but I missed those. I'm just gonna park mine on the west side when im down there from now on just to be safe.

The No Standing in front of the restaurant is a new one. Used to be you could park close to the food truck.
