Parking sign sins

E-mail Print

The English language is often misused to aid and abet all manner of deceit, dubious money-making and generally dodgy behaviour. Parking tickets can be the stuff of fury and contention at the best of times, but misleading or evasive parking signs compound an already simmering issue.

Do you have any examples of confusing, deliberately vague or rage-inducing parking signs? If so, please send them to us at info@plainenglish.co.uk and we will publish the best photos.
