    Ah, the absolute pristine clarity of the american legal system.

    Oh, those signs mean that the guy who runs the Streets and Sanitation Department for the City of San Francisco has a close friend who runs a street sign making company.

    Now the city has the freedom to ticket you at any time of day or night, because inevitably you will be disobeying at least one of those signs. Hoorah for revenue generation!

    I’m gonna cast my vote with Liam on this one.

    I’ve occasionally spent 10 minutes staring blankly at those signs, walking away with a torn brain…and then walking back to find a $50 ticket. Oh California, with these dirty tricks, many wish you indeed were another country…

    San Francisco is a Transit First city.

    @ antfaber,

    So, transit first, park second? Seems a logical approach to travel.

    @ antfaber

    Or does “Transit First” mean that in order to push citizens to use public transit the city makes other forms of transportation difficult to pursue?

    i solved the whole problem by never learning how to drive.

    @ Elise,

    I don’t think that’s a workable approach for me, living too deep in suburbia as I do. I sometimes think back to my time in London, living without a car. It seems such a wonderfully simple way to go through life.
