Hey guys, I have something that's been bugging me for a few hours now. I had an appointment in the city and it was hard to find parking. So i found this space in between 2 trucks where some road works were happening back further up the road (about 100 metres or so. so i parked in there... once i finished my appointment i came out to see that a construction worker was taking photos of my car with his phone camera. i told him that i was moving now because i was close to the 1 hour permitted to park there. "Too late" he said. "Why?" i asked. "It's a bus stop..." he replied. I pointed to the sign, "I park here every week on a Sunday for 1 hour and i have not got a fine. The sign CLEARLY SAYS i can park here from 6.30am to 7.30pm." (i also said this to 2 ladies who were waiting for the bus when i parked my car) He looks at the sign and then says "oh... but... you're in a road construction place, you can't park here" So actually i didn't want cause a big scene so i just apoligised to him and said that i didn't know so he said "ok, no problems, have a nice day..." and walked off... so... it bugged me so much that i went to the police station to ask them about it. they said "only people who can issue you a parking fine are: Vic police and the council" that made me relax a bit but still something tells me that he will forward the photos of my car to the council for them to send me an infringement. the policewoman also asked me if i took a photo of my car in the parking space with the sign. stupid me, i should have. but i won't risk my life standing in the middle of the road to make sure both the sign and my car with the plates is in view when the road is already down to 2 lanes from 3. she said not to stress too much until the infringement comes. she also added that it's highly unlikely that i will get fined and even if i do get fined, i have a leg to stand on, as i wasn't breaking any rules. she also asked me if i removed any witches hats. i didn't remove any and none where inside the parking space. if i can put this in the words without pictures: my car was parked in between the last and 2nd last truck, no witches hats in the parking space and no hats blocking the access to the car park space, approx 100 metres away from where they were doing construction/excavation works my questions are: with permits for construction workers on the side roads, if the space is open and there isn't a car there, am i able to park there still? because i remember one time on the other side of the road, there was trucks parked and i parked there and no one said anything. i've checked on the website of the city of melbourne but found nothing. and if they send the photo in of my car to the council, will that be enough for the council to fine me? thanks for your time guys, typing this out took a fair bit of weight off my shoulders...
