Don’t worry about a ticket—-“everyone knows” that the police will ignore this (and they did) Blogfinger photo.©  Although they do sometimes ticket parking violations.   8/31/18

 

An interesting question is whether enforcement of such violations might improve the parking availability on gridlock summer weekends in Ocean Grove?  Yes, because enforcement promotes obeying the law, and that will insure a less chaotic parking function in this town including less resentment.   And of course, there are a number of safety issues.

And even a Bond car should get a ticket—the equal justice clause:

Diagonal parking on Main Avenue, with truck jutting out. Rich Amole photo. June, 2017. Blogfinger photo ©

From a Grover  (Bklyn20G)  on July 9:     ” Paul, the other day we were driving west on Main Avenue, and a pick up truck was diagonally parked  with a long metal pole stocking well beyond the body of the truck and into the roadway. We just barely missed it.”

This was the night of the Choir Festival when the town was gridlocked.

“11:03 PM Sunday evening. Police are here. The sound of the accident woke us up from a sound sleep.  Maybe only compact vehicles should be allowed to park diagonally”.  (That suggestion was also made recently by Penny in our comments section.)

This vehicle was long and had a pole sticking out. Someone crashed into it. Submitted by a resident who lives near there. 7/9/17 ©  The truck was towed away that night.

This vehicle collided with the truck shown above. Photo by Grover neighbor. © Diagonal parking on both sides is now against the law. This location is “grandfathered in.”
