I recently got a ticket on the campus of my college, not from the college police but by the city.
The ticket is saying that I parked on the sidewalk which is a small concrete walk that surrounds the lot. the problem I am having with this is that I am not considering this a sidewalk, my reasoning is that in the parking lot there is none of the concrete barriers at the front of a parking space that separates the Lot from the sidewalk so it is impossible to tell when you have reached the sidewalk and everyone that parks in the lot has part of their car on some of the sidewalk.
The day I got my ticket so did about 40 other cars for the same reason. Its a 11 dollar ticket so yea that's a easy 440 bucks for the city.
I thought about just paying it and going on about my business but then decided to challenge it, hoping to keep it from happening to other people at the college, 11 dollars goes a long way for a student.
