Parking signs can be confusing at the best of times, but a particularly cryptic one in Sydney has meant drivers had their cars wrongly towed.
Senior 9News reporter Eddy Meyer was on Kent Street in central Sydney yesterday with a cameraman and assistant ahead of an interview.
"Hamish the cameraman even went to the machine and paid for, I think, two hours of parking and the machine gave him a ticket - took his money and gave him a ticket." It turns out the confusion stemmed from an addition to the clearway section of the sign, due to the public holiday in NSW. "He towed us and he towed a whole bunch of people, I'm not having a go at the towie, he's just a bloke doing his job, he was very friendly, Meyer said.Would you get caught out by this parking sign?In a statement, Transport for NSW said the Nine crew and other drivers who had their cars wrongly towed were actually in the right.
