发帖数: 9764 | 2 Ask The Parking Ticket Geek: Why Can't I Park Near a Crosswalk?
Dear Parking Ticket Geek,
I received a ticket in a spot in Lincoln Park that I have parked in at least
30 times with no problem. It is on the end of a block, near a crosswalk,
without a sign restricting parking.
But the ticket says it’s for "Parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk."
If this is really true, it would eliminate thousands of spots that
Chicagoans use every day. Think I can beat it?

Rest assured Tedd, you were parked perfectly legally.
Unless there is a sign posted, drivers can park their cars right up to the
crosswalk markings. Of course, the car cannot be within the crosswalk, or
even touching the crosswalk markings.
Whoever wrote you the ticket doesn't know the law. The city's municipal code
prohibits parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk, but only if there's a sign
posted. Here’s the law:
9-64-100 (f) Within 20 feet of a crosswalk where official signs are posted;
No sign, no dice, no ticket.
To contest this, take photos of where you parked, showing there are no signs
restricting parking near the crosswalk. Mark the photo(s) with a pen to
indicate where your car was parked. It will help to get a photo of a street
sign and/or perhaps a building with a street address to establish the signs
are from where you parked.
Finally, at the hearing or in your letter make sure you cite the municipal
code above and point out that since no signs were posted the ticket must be
dismissed.
I can't see how you don't beat this ticket. It's one of those low-hanging
curve balls that you can easily knock over the center field wall.
