I personally think these companies are nothing more than vultures, but it is legal. Ethical?...no.

He's absolutely correct
The signage is specific pursuant to State Statute, in design, size, and essentially wording.
There's meet the statute and are clearly posted. I don't have an issue with that part.
I have since found out however, that the property owner and the rent-a-cop (Marshall Security) that oversees it for them, "allow and permit" a violation of thier own policy.
They allow overflow parking from the Bull on the weekends under some agreement between the 2.
So my issue is and has been, the "Fire Lane."
I have more research to do on the design and markings required by statute and/or ordinance, but right now, I have to finish my Christmas shopping! I have time to play with this over the holidays, but I see a real s**tstorm on the horizon for these idiots!!
Lets see. "If" I'm correct, and "If" the location is improperly marked. and "if" the guard is selectively enforcing parking restrictions...
Approximately 12-14 cars per night, 2 nightsd a week for the last 2-4 months @ $112.00 each (minimum).....this is gonna be an expensive lesson for somebody......
But I have to be right! Otherwis, you suck it up and deal with it, get the word out to the patrons of the bull...watch where you park!
