Italian Parking

The streets of Viterbo are a sight to behold with the crazy parking of cars that people get away with. So, today, I took my camera with me as I walked to and from the Mensa (dining hall, has nothing to do with how smart you are) to document just some of the parking violations I saw. To give you a measure of the enormity of crazy parking, all these pictures were taken in the 1/3 kilometer walk between school and the Mensa. Enjoy.





VIOLATION #1 (starting from least offensive to most egregious) Parking too far from the curb.






VIOLATION #2 On a downhill slope, tires not turned towards curb.






VIOLATION #3 Parking in a crosswalk






VIOLATION #4 Double Parking - Parallel Variant






VIOLATION #5 Double Parking - Perpendicular Variant






VIOLATION #6 Parking ON the sidewalk






Not technically a violation, but cars parked pointing in three directions.






VIOLATION #7 Parking diagonal in a parallel parking spot
