I'm not an idiot but I got a parking ticket for $100 as did about 20 other cars. A friend was here from Chicago for her bucket list visit to the Cherry Blossoms. We parked on Thursday afternoon in a zone where the parking signs were very far away (in fact I didn't even see the sign until we were leaving). I pulled into a spot being vacated by another car. Turns out it was a bus waiting zone, not a car parking zone. As we were leaving we warned the people who were trying to get our spot, and another car that was just pulling into a spot in the same zone. I guess that's the price of admission to the Cherry Blossoms!

I’ll be the first to say that DC street parking signs are often contradictory and/or entirely illogical, but considering that meter parking is free on Sundays, you must’ve been parked in a strict no-parking area for them to have ticketed you (and twenty others)

Yeah I’m not dumb and yeah I parked illegally. I don’t know why you replied as you did. Just giving warning to others to look very very closely even if there are a lot of other cars parked doesn’t mean it’s legal just means we are all lemmings. And it was Thursday. Not Sunday.
