Help. I have been trying to clarify this issue and cannot get a human being at VPD or VCC dept to answer or call me back. This is a question regarding the LEGAL direction to park on Applenut. This street has only one side with residences. There are signs posted do not park across from the residences. However one can drive into this street from two directions - so which direction is the correct direction to park? Silly question I think but my neighbor was given a ticket for parking his vehicle in front of his house pointing towards silktree ln. He was given a citation for parking in the wrong direction HOWEVER the car infront of him was facing the SAME direction and was NOT issued a ticket. Please clarify.
