man is crying foul after he was hit with more than $700 worth of parking fines for breaking an "unfair" road rule he claims should not even apply on cramped inner city streets.
After living in the suburb for eight years, Seagar said he thought he knew the ins and outs of the parking rules for local streets pretty well. "This seemed ludicrously over the top for a quiet area; I would never park intentionally illegally if it was signposted that way," he said.While "no parking" signs were displayed near quite a few street corners in Erskineville, others were not, he said.
Seagar said he vaguely recalled the road rule from the time he had taken his driving test, but the restriction did not make sense in the inner city, where buildings standing near to the curb obstructed the view of traffic more than parked cars.Seagal said he was gearing up to dispute the fine in court when, last week, he got more bad news in the mail.
