a Subaru driver illegally parked in front of a fire hydrant on Green Street in Halifax's south end.
They got what they deserved!
Police ended up giving the Subaru driver a parking ticket, even though a municipal parking sign near the hydrant said it was alright to park there.
It is illegal to park within five metres of a fire hydrant, according to the Motor Vehicle Act.
"Provincial legislation is going to supercede that municipal bylaw sign, so it is still illegal to park in front of a fire hydrant," said Const. Amy Edwards with Halifax Regional Police.

Oh no... that's so sad. Look at that grass, not cut down.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Looks to me like the firemen could have run it under the vehicle. looks high enough to do so and the hose wouldn't have a kink in it. And it that sign says it's alright to park there, that's just plan stupid.
